TQOTD: Media Hoaxes....

In 1996, a major American corporation placed an ad in, among other places, the New York Times, stating that it had purchased a major U.S. landmark and was renaming it. What was the corporation and what was the landmark?

Still awake. I am so in trouble for tomorrow.

It's not easy for me to be at a social gathering where I know next to no one. It's even harder at 7:30 a.m. Even more so on two hours of sleep.

But I was a good girl and went to K's school's volunteer appreciation breakfast (I work with the kids in his class on reading every Thursday). I now have a nifty little pin to show for my efforts.

I was just thinking yesterday how much more I like working in K's class than with my literature group in D's class. The kindergartners and first-graders are excited about reading... the third graders are jaded. Being cool is really important, and being excited about reading is not cool, at least with the little boys I work with. Sad, really.

I have no choice.

I have to go on, even though I feel like I am about to collapse from sheer exhaustion. I couldn't even get to sleep during an attempt at a nap.

I have too much to do.

Gee, this takes me back...

Anyone want to buy some band candy?
