On Futons, Coffins, and Hissing Reptiles

July 6th, 2005 at 8:58 pm (Blogging, Education)


So now I’m fully refreshed and ready to re-enter the blogosphere. Where to start? Sort through the various draft posts, re-read, link, and comment? De-brief on the Hillbilly Holiday? More interesting patents?

Oh, but there’s a surprise appointment with a 400-pound futon to consider. The thing’s packaged in a cardboard box the size of a coffin, which I guess I should view as a bonus, because I’ll probably need it for that very purpose after pushing the thing up the stairs.

You see, it’s all part of the re-designing of the office into a home school room for Freaktoe. Which reminds me, I need to figure out what to do, what requirements to meet, what bureaucractic hoops I need to navigate to make the government happy.

For now, though, all I need to know is that I have until August 1st to give notice to the State that our precious little Freaktoe is withdrawing from society into the cult of at-home-education. So, I guess I’ll get started on July 31st, when that snake flits its wriggling, forked tongue and rears back to bite. Because tonight, the 400 pound coffin just down the hall is hissing.

Thanks to TNHomeEd.com for boiling it all down for me.
