ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY

My son says that school is all work and no play, will that make him a dull boy? I was trying to work in my studio today, but just didn't have the concentration so I took a stroll down my old street in Astoria, Queens.

Such a big city, yet it felt like a small town. I couldn't walk a few feet down the street without someone stopping me to say hello and asking me how I was doing on Long Island? "It's better for the kids, right" said my old neighbors. "It's better for the kids, right" said the old man that always sat on the stoop. "It's better for the kids, right" said the mom that always walked up and down the street holding tightly to her young daughter. I shrugged my shoulders. What could I say. Is it better? I will need to wait for my children to grow up and tell me as I watch them pack there bags and move to faraway places.

My daughter has encountered her arch enemy in her new inclusion classes. This girl spent last year kicking and making fun of my daughter (and other kids too). I think I need a new job to take my mind of all my children's troubles. Perhaps, there is an opening at the Overlook Hotel. All work and no play makes this blogger a dull girl.
