1. Boss told me that a little boy in her class class said to her, “Put your hand in my pocket.”

All I wanted to know was, “Does that work?!”

2. Boss is going out of town for the weekend. Just what the hell am I going to do now? I may enjoy some of the Chicago International Film Festival which begins this weekend. The logo for the festival reminds me of the demon face from the Exorcist. It is also Chicago Artists Month so I could browse some art work. I could also just pick up a new Playstation Portable game.

3. Let’s pause to appreciate Wanda Sykes.

4. Fun events coming up. Mother in law will be here in two weeks and we will be celebrating her birthday. I got excellent tickets to see The Pirate Queen. It will also be spa week here in Chicago but I sent them to the spa for massages and facials during her last visit so I don’t know if I’ll do that again. We have some bottles of wine lined up and restaurants to try.

I was invited to a private play and cocktail party at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater out on Navy PIer in a few weeks I will look forward to that.

5. We are contemplating Paris for our next vacation. I will need to dust off my French. Speaking of…my mother is currently in Paris. My sister asked my mother if she had bothered to learn a single word in French before going. My mother said, “No.” My sister decided to teach her how to say please. My sister said, “s’il vous plait.” My mother garbled it. My sister suggested she say “seafood place” instead. I truly wonder what other English speaking natives will think when my mother ends her requests with seafood place.
