I thought this was appropriate for Good Friday.

It’s that time of year.

In honor of the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, and especially their fans who are apparently setting anything they can find alight.

Yeah, I don’t expect to be able to do anything productive for about five days.  How’s your week going?

After the last post, I’ve had this little ditty running through my head.

For Saturday morning cartoons today, we watched “The Princess Bride”.  Boo loved swashing some buckle.  And yes, I’ve sung this song to a girl, long ago and far away.

Due to the way our schedules work out, I’m normally the parent who gets Boo ready in the morning and takes him to school.  For whatever reason, I either listen to a mix of kids music or a mix of classical music on the iPod for our 15 minute drive. 

This morning, the classical mix brought us to the beginning to the choral part of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, which I have been told I incorrectly call “Ode to Joy”.  The recording I have has a great German baritone doing the initial solo, and Boo got into it.

As we walked into the school, he was singing “Fweude!  Fweude!” as dramatically as he could.

I think I’m doing something right.

Interesting mash up.

It’s been one of those weeks.  This all sounds like a good idea.
