1. Veronica Mars. This show is a must see. Watch it.
2. My Friend Flicka. I read it at 8, now again at 35. I had forgotten most of it, but it’s easy to recall now why I devoured it and its sequels. This is a book suitable for kids, but not written for them (at least according to the standards of 2006).
3. Cinnamon tea. Every year, the cinnamon tea gets yanked off the shelves, and I go through a summer without. Then fall comes and it comes and damn. The combination of tea and cinnamon is simply divine.
4. The Emperor’s New Groove. It’s a silly movie, but it makes me laugh like few things I’ve seen before or since.
Yes. In our house we’re six and fourteen and forty, so what do we watch when we watch anything together? The Emperor’s New Groove of course. Stupid how funny we find and continue to find it, each of several gazillion times. Scary beyond all reason, really.
Kronk is my hero.
