Friday

Congratulations, everyone! We have made it through another week. All of us have contributed to this accomplishment and can share in the praise. Hats off.

I'd like to take a moment and remind everybody that Friday is and always will be "School Cafeteria Pizza Day." During the week we all encounter the unexpected but anchoring us all down is the fact that school cafeterias will serve pizza today. Little square pieces of pizza. And probably cartons of chocolate milk too.

What a horrible establishment school cafeterias are when they force children to pay for lunch. I'm all for a free market of ideas but kids shouldn't have to purchase their own school lunches. Especially if they go to public school. What if a little boy or girl comes up short when they get to the cashier. "Sorry, Suzie, you have to put your lunch back. You don't have enough money today. Food is a luxury you can't afford." I'm getting steamed just thinking about it.
