A conversation on a street corner

A conversation on a street corner last week. A group of kids were walking in single file trying to step on each other's shadow.
Me to the first boy in line: "You'd better be careful stepping like that because that shadow might just come loose and then it would go off on it's own and wander around."
The boy: "No, that will never happen because it is a part of him."
Me: "Well, if it's a part of him, then why is it down there?" [points to the shadow on the sidewalk]
The boy: "Yeah, well, okay, so it's not really a part of him. What it is is that he stands between the sun and..."
Me: I didn't hear the rest because I had my fingers in my ears and was saying loudly, "La-la-la-la-la-la-la..."

Or something like that.

Starting again again.

Ahhhhhhh! It's been sooooooo long since I have done anything here. But now I have seen the error of my ways and will start blogging here again.

And we will fix the place up. It's gone to seed while I've been gone and there are all sorts of other books that have come out we need to post here and about, (Adorn the walls.) So anyway, we start again.
