Trudi's favorite song

Trudi loves this song - she sits on my lap at the computer and claps her hands. The singer is Jack Johnson, and the song is from his 2006 album; Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George.

Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stoppin' curiosity

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Will it all keep spinning and spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say whats impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Please Don't go away
is this how it's supposed to be

Bad Day

She's getting stronger every day - she'll be walking in no time, I'm sure!

US to Leave UN, Join International House of Pancakes

NEW YORK. Frustrated by high dues and a coalition of anti-American interests, the United States today announced that it would resign from the United Nations and instead align itself with the International House of Pancakes, a competing organization.

"We just got the bill for the third quarter, and it's outrageous," said Zalmay Khalilzad, the current U.S. ambassador to the UN. "There's an assessment for renovations to the indoor pool, and charges for three grilled cheese sandwiches that I know I didn't order."


Of course Taiwan wouldn't be allowed in - they'd have to go to Big Boy or Denny's with a handful of third-world nations, who would expect Taiwan to pick up the tab.
