Thinking of you Nyawkers as UPS just delivered a new bassoon bocal
from a maker near Union Square. Great bocal, but the real treat was
the NY Times Metro Section wrapping paper.
What the heck is going on back there in the East!?!!?!?!
Here is a krinkled story from Connecticut about how activities like
kick-ball and soccor are being banned during elementary school recesses in
favour of non-contact jump ropes and hula hoops. It says balls, tag
and other contact games are being treated like controlled substances
as too dangerous. As a result of a protest campaign titled Rescuing
Recess, 4th and 5th graders are sometimes allowed to play a modified
version of kick-ball as long as a score is not kept.
Hard to fathom the dichotomy of messages coming across the Border these
days!
1) Adults are allowed to beat the crap out of their enemies as
long as they think it is politically correct.
2) Children are taught to not keep score.
We live in strange times.
