Sky Monkeys

I was in the airport in Washington DC over the break and I saw this spoof of a magazine called "Sky Mall" that can be found in the seatback pocket on most commercial airline flights. It made allusion to the infamous "Sea Monkeys" of yesteryear with a picture of a blond headed kid holding onto the beginnings of a paper wasps nest complete with three or four wasps crawling on the nest and the caption "Sky Monkeys". I laughed. I nearly bought the magazine ( it also had a lamacycle on the cover, which is in fact a lama with a bike tire for front legs).\

Anyway, break was good. I ate alot. I had tappas in The District (local DC dialect for Washington), I ate at trendy Belgas on Capitol Hill, and I had a double bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries. Mmmm, mmm good.

I saw some original Rembrandt sketches at the National Gallery and a T-Rex skeleton at the Museum of Natural History. The Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial, I saw them as well and many more.

Let me see, nine more weeks of school and then I can quit for a while. I like a job that you cna quit for a while. It helps you gain perspective.

My editor said that he has not had time to review my manuscript as thoroughly as he would like. He still hasn't said it stinks, so I'm hanging onto that.

I have five minutes before class and I still have to call the plummer and Verizon and there's football practice after school today. At least our BBall team has a bye in the first round of the playoffs. I'd better go shoot anyway.
