		<description>Everything was fine UNTIL:
&lt;i&gt;"...the sporadic wafts of warm, summer air gently fluttering the fashionable, soft, cotton fabric of the females blouses into a massage of their protruding breasts..."&lt;/i&gt;

And now I have to clean egg nog off my screen. Thanks a lot, Neil!</description>

		<description>I am only surprised to find that the first one did not mention breasts...I bet you wanted to..even in 5th grade..but were a bit too timid!

Huh, I thought you were an "ass" man...
Maybe this came as you matured..

You have matured..right?

I love the line...In this World, EARTH!

rather brilliant, really!</description>

		<description>If I ever manage to get the cardboard box that is sitting in the middle of my room to take me back in time, I am &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; introducing Grade School Neil to blogging.

Also, I am the exact same way when it comes to hoarding stuff.  One day, I will need to produce a copy of every report card from kindergarten through eighth grade in order to win a million dollars and take the crown as Queen of Americaland.  In my first royal speech, I will tell my mother, "HA. I told you I needed that stuff."</description>

		<description>The freshman writing is truly insufferable. You've come a long way, baby.

My 10-year-old daughter writes all the time. Poems, notes, lists, stories. She copies her favorite quotes into notebooks. She reads constantly. My son finds writing a form of punishment.</description>
