1.God
2. Watching the Music Man with family. I hadn’t seen it all the way through, hard to imagine. Wouldn’t I want to be Robert Preston with his dance moves wooing Shirley Jones in “Marian the Librarian.” And isn’t Shirley Jones otherwordly.
3. Mothers of America, let your kids go to the movies. I’ll never forget David laughing at Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times when he was younger and even though he was less enthused about the Music Man, he laughed and appreciated the jokes and enjoyed himself. Hannah expressed concern that this would not end well because they couldn’t play their instruments and the music man couldn’t really teach them. Emily wouldn’t agree to Cassie singing along so she retreated elsewhere to sing her favorites like goodnight my someone at certain intervals.
4. When family come and go
5. When the streets are relatively quiet, with no school and fewer people going to work
6. Sentences starting up (this isn’t one)
7. Array
8. Bones for Peabody (Snoopy used to bury and catalog his, like with the date 7/31/64 or whatever)
9. Letting sleeping dogs lie
10. Catnip in high places
