Grandma was taking the kids for dinner and a sleepover at a nearby hotel, ergo;
Hubby + Me = FREE!!!
After dropping the kids off for their adventure, we agree to restfor a few minutes before going out on the TOWN. Even if the most ambitious rendition of “town” I could imagine at this point is soaking in a hot tub and finding some food. Awesome. It is 6pm.
Around 9pm, Dear Hubsand comes out of the bedroom and mumbles something. I, slumped over on the couch, am reported to have rolled over. Soon after that I move into the bedroom to “rest” a little more.
At 2:22am I awake still in my clothes. I change into pajamas, brush my teeth (!) and climb back into bed.
At 8am DaddyLove heads off to retrieve the kids.
I stay behind to continue vaguely staring at the ceiling.
We were on our way into see the latest Spider-Man movie, and she was on her way out. Quick as a whistle and simple as that. She is OUR SENATOR, our neighbor, our Champion, our relentless fighter, an absolutely brilliant human being, and a Goddess.
And as she deftly made her way through the crowd, she was all the while bathed in the warm glow of her husband Bruce, quietly gliding along in the background with a kind smile on his face that looked as though he genuinely enjoys her receiving our attention and accolades.
What a Goddess. Thank goodness for her and may the gods bless Elizabeth Warren!

Kudos to our Literacy Coach Ms Heather and Librarian Ms. Gillis for this wonderful favorite book display. And to their part in helping to create amazing READERS in my kids!
So, here in unedited, unadulterated glory is AN example of my show, generously filmed in its entirety by the local TV station in the Town of Tewksbury, MA.
It’s neither my best show nor my best audience, perhaps due in part to my failure to get my sound system to work, which is why my voice –recorded intimately by the camera man– is on the forceful end of end of the spectrum.
Also: It’s a simple fact that live interactive shows just don’t translate well to video.
PS: I generally avoid viewing footage of my own show at ALL costs. Somehow I was able to get through all of this one (over like, 10 days, lol).
PPS: FWIW actually they did edit out the parts where:
I out-loud acknowledged and thanked the WRONG SPONSOR for my show (doh!) and,
I had to charmingly deal with, discipline and disperse these two dumfounding asshole dads who were WHITE-MANSPREADING their boistrous ongoing dialogue about themselves with each other just adjacent to my stage right. Motherfuckers. (Because the TV mic was on my person you can’t hear them in the video, but they were so loud I was struggling feverishly to even hear my thoughts and keep the sequence of events strait in my head and keep the show together. WHITE MAN FUCKERS!)
Note to Self: I need to write a song to directly serenade (white-man, sometimes white-mom) fuckers for that specific circumstance right in the middle of my goddamn show. #BLARGH!!!
PPS: I know I know; “patient” children’s entertainer throwing down the F-bomb everywhere. WELCOME TO MY BLOG!
OMG here is Gavin & Naveen’s final project for 5th grade; a virtual cross country trip around the USA. Enjoy!
2019-06 USA Trip by Gavin & Naveen [4:40 +2 random mins of music]:
Here’s more about the project, according to the school weekly:
Vacation! In Library/Technology Class, Upper Elementary students planned an imaginary summer vacation. They had $10,000 and 30 days to travel to all 5 regions of the USA. They researched and planned an itinerary, then created a faux Scrapbook video. Check out their final products!
FWIW: Third Graders also did a technology project:
Green Screen Fun In Technology class, the 3rd graders recently completed a green screen video project based on their expert book topic or a person they studied in their biography unit in Library.
