I must admit that even though I'm twice his age, Gilbert & Sullivan was only a name (or two); I only ever experienced their work here in Britain. Can't say I'm a fan. Everyone else knows the words and I don't. It's an interesting look into British colonial culture, but half of a play was enough for me.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-5131173759759835832012-05-09T18:19:20.870-07:002012-05-09T18:19:20.870-07:00Hi Anne - Good work corollary.

I don't watch reality TV, but there are enough commercials for Undercover Boss, that I get the gist and there's another reason to behave yourself in the workplace.<br />I often wish I was on one of your great getaways, so I know what you mean. My water aerobics classes are pretty fun.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-7307099154496470632012-05-09T18:13:07.364-07:002012-05-09T18:13:07.364-07:00Hi Sanda - Norma had a great birthday, but then I ...Hi Sanda - Norma had a great birthday, but then I have never know Norma to have any other kind of day. She always wears the prettiest earrings and a big smile, even during water aerobics. I hadn't thought of the No Child Left Behind corallation. I do know that people who compare US test scores to European and Asian test scores, ignore the fact that those nations are only testing their top 20%, while we test virtually every high schooler.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-46884401539616680502012-05-09T07:56:46.713-07:002012-05-09T07:56:46.713-07:00That is REALLY good advice.

And what could be more fun than a singing lifeguard?

I abide by that rule as well. Hope your friend at the pool had a very happy birthday. I think it's really sad that our young people are growing up without even a cursory knowledge of music, literature, even world history. We can partially thank No Child Left Behind for that!sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.com
