Month: February 2005

I picked up the Boston Herald today because of the picture on the front. You see, Junior is 7, prime viewing age for all the Nickelodeon shows. Late every afternoon is the time for U-Pick Live, a show that combines games, interviews and cartoons selected by the viewers. One of the hosts, Brent, is apparently a Chelmsford native, so we have often heard him passionately praise the Sox and the Pats.

I assume the picture on the Herald is less because of the Brent connection and more how goofy the photo looks, but there is Pick-Boy, one of the regulars on U-Pick, in his Pick-Boy costume, interviewing Patriot Kevin Kasper, who looks amused if nothing else.

I actually bought a copy because I thought Junior would get a kick out of it, but maybe I’m delusional. No less delusional than the editor who picked that photo to take up half the front page, though. (Link only valid on 2/2/05)

I’ve been in a good mood for two whole days now! Can you imagine? Me! A good mood! See what a successful birthday party will do for you? Gosh, I should go into party planning, don’t you think? Except I don’t want to have to deal with all the little teeny details. So I want to be the high-level planner. Come up with the theme, other ideas like that. That probably isn’t enough to hang up a shingle for, but hey, feel free to ask me to help you come up with a party idea.

Here’s a freebie for a summer party: arrange ahead of time to have an ice cream truck stop at the party, let everyone get something free from the truck. Sort of like an open bar. I mean, who doesn’t love an ice cream man?

Hang on, I forgot to change my calendar to February.

Okay, thanks.

Where was I? Oh, right. Being in a good mood. I’m hoping I can get that strung out until at least the weekend. We’ll see.
