We have lots of activities coming up including a Lost and Found field trip, our first rom-com movie, and a LEGO SNOT competition.
This Tuesday Lost and Found will be at the Penn Hills Senior Center talking about medication compliance and different strategies and systems that can be employed. It will hopefully be more fun than the field trip when my fifth grade class went to a funeral home. When we got there the funeral director attempted to open with a joke
“Why is there always an extra chair set up at every funeral? It’s for rigor mortis to set in!”
He could tell no one liked his joke. The fact that no one laughed was a dead give away.
There was also the time when I was a kid and we took a field trip to the Coca-Cola bottling company in Cleveland. I was worried they were going to give us a pop quiz!
Earlier today, I was attempting to let my wife know how intertwined we are. I told her, “You are in my heart, you are in my blood, you are in all my body.”
Shannon just scoffed at me and asked, “Are you talking about me, or a parasitic infection?”
I think my attempt at romance may have failed but this is a good way to segue into our next movie, Knight and Day, which is a rom-com starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Below is a trailer for it.
Our last LEGO competition (focused on Creative Parts Usage) was a lot of fun, and now we are getting ready for a LEGO competition based on SNOT! An advanced techinque in LEGO building involves the creative usage of LEGOs where at least some of the bricks the Studs are Not On Top. In our next LEGO competition it will be our goal to require the usage of the SNOT technique. A brief tutorial will be provided before the competition begins. It will be for kids in first through sixth grade with separate prizes for each age group. Our LEGO SNOT competition will be held on Saturday, November 5th.

Thanks and God bless
