What does 4/20 mean to you?

What do you think of when you think of 4/20?  April 20^th?  Ok it was an interesting thought I heard yesterday.  Randi Rhodes, whom I think is the Queen of knowing what actually goes on politically in America (http://www.randirhodes.com/main.html), was talking about the significance of the day.  If you asked the question what does 4/20 mean to you?  You would hear probably one of these answers; The National Stoner Day, Hitler’s Birthday, Anniversary of Columbine or Anniversary of the BP Oil Spill.    The next thing she said was if you wanted to put like-minded people together you could ask this question.  Think about it.  If you had 4 companies and divided the workers into the four companies by their answers wouldn’t you have an interesting outcome?  What does 4/20 mean to you?  My answer was National Stoner Day.  Oh well.

Vacation

So far we are really having a great time, Rodrigo was able to have time to play this vacation and we have been spending it with his family.  We had a great time.  The kids played all day and stayed the night with Va & Vo.  It was a nice time for all.

When in Rome

So my 5 day vacation starts tomorrow.  I am actually looking forward to it today as opposed to seeing it as a time where I will sit and do nothing because Rodrigo is working.  I guess I realize if I have to go at it alone I might as well go big.  Here is my plan; Go to the beach tomorrow and come back Friday with the kids.  Hopefully my friend and her kids will come with us.  If not,  I will go alone.  Saturday, I will have a meeting with my students and try to take the kids somewhere, then Sunday I will go to the SESC and swim with the kids then to Rodrigo’s families for Easter dinner, finally Monday probably the SESC again then out with a new friend and her husband.   The best part is.... I dont have any $.  A friend of mine told me today that she was going on a 500 mile journey without any money so, I think when in Rome.   I think it will be these big plans that will save me from myself.  Its been a tough couple of weeks.
