Don't Forget to Flush...

In Flushing Meadows, New York, the Aquacade during the 1964 World's Fair was known as “The Flushing Bowl.”

For my taste, we could have flushed all the hype around the just completed Super Bowl Sunday in Santa Clara, too! While it may have been a real treat for some, I cannot feel the excitement. I didn’t drink the Kool-Ade. I’m a dunce or dummy, perhaps. Un-informed by choice, for sure, because, “Frankly… I don’t give a damn!”

Saturday’s festivities in Walnut Creek for The Painted Turtle’s Camp On The Move was my idea of fun. Kids came to play with their families, and a whole bunch of goofy, caring volunteer counselors, and, just for a day, forgot about the medical challenges they face.

What delightful revelry to make hobby horses, musical instruments, and puppets, decorate tee shirts with melted on crayons, bowl, play carnival games, have recycled water bottle boat races, and create their own “stage-day” performances! All that and a free lunch with extra special birthday cake for our camp photog Sherry trumps (oooh, hate that word these days!) Super Bowl.

I hear the Broncos bucked the Panthers. Wonder if that would happen with those same real animals in the wild?
Wouldn’t panthers claw those buckers to shreds?

Let's flush what doesn't serve, and find something real to root about.

And remember to wash your hands after you flush.
