remember K D Fox? and then there was the fox 26 kids crew. kalia moved to florida and we were all sad.

then there was the big chalkboard in the basement of the belmont house, and jo anne and amber and i played school, and i cried because jo anne told me to write what period it was on my paper and i was in kindergarten, so i didn't know what periods were...
and the chicken coop in the side yard, and the big doghouse in back we used to crawl in, and i remember when my friends came over for joy school i'd hang out in there... (i think???) and amber used to always have her pink... um... super ball? or something? and it bounced over the backyard fence one day and never was heard from again...and no one can forget her cocker spaniel doll...

we took the bus to school every day, but when i found out that normal cities took yellow school buses to school i got upset. i cried a lot about stupid stuff, made my kindergarten teacher frustrated. (imagine how mom felt!) then there was the ice cream lines at central elementary where you had to get your hand stamped. we got those triangular juice minute maid frozen popsicle thingys.

completely off the subject and into 2001, everyone needs to buy they might be giants' new album, mink car. it's a lot of swinging happening fun.
