Wish Lists

I was asked to provide a list around things that were “ideal for Jaime”. Let’s just say it ended with “And a pony”

We’ll see how far this one goes. Of all the things, the pony may stand the best chance of being realized.

I left the tv on for the dogs. I haven’t shut it off or changed the channel. I’m watching River Monsters and they’re in Burlington, VT looking for something in Lake Champlain. Sea Lampreys.

I may never actually swim in Vermont waters again where I cannot see the bottom. Ever.

Insomnia

It’s 1:11am. I can’t sleep though I haven’t tried. I’m watching Won’t Back Down. A movie about a low performing school and one devoted mom who sets out to improve the school her daughter goes to. It reminds me of the movie Waiting for Superman. I couldn’t believe the lottery and how these small children are desperate to win a lottery to go to a good school rather than the one that serves children in the districts they live in.

This is a good movie. Sad and hard. But good.
