I Don’t Question The Sun, What Good Does That Do?

Dawn came up, dancing in rose and orange veils. She seemed pretty happy, and just nodded at me while I shambled about getting my coffee and getting everyone ready for the day. I told the Princess the dawn was colorful today, and she was briefly surprised. “It’s that early? Wow. Well, mine is not to question solar activity.”

Kids are funny. We had a whole conversation about Charge of the Light Brigade last night. Mine is not to question why. That was the hallmark phrase all last night, while my friend Red watched Terminator 4 with us.

Man, even a sweaty, dirty Christian Bale couldn’t save that movie. (TJ Tradekraft says it follows some of the books pretty closely, I’ve never read them so I don’t know.) I just kept flashing back to American Psycho and sniggering, “Watch out! He’s got a coathanger!”

Today I’m going to go do something that I haven’t done in a long time. Alone. I’ve been doing a lot of things alone in the last six months. This one will actually be pleasant. I’ll report on it later.

Alone’s not so bad. And in any case, who am I to question the solar activity?

    Agree with you on the Terminator, though I loved Sam Worthington and thought he stole the show from Bale.

    Also thought I’d add that I’m currently reading Betrayals and loving it. I wish you’d write faster (totally tongue in cheek).

    I haven’t seen T4, but without watching it I know that American Psycho is better. :-)

    As a fellow SW WA gal, I can totally understand the confusion that comes with actually seeing any form of sunlight in the months of January and February. You see us all in our sunglasses wandering aimlessly around, our minds totally blown.
