Loose Leaf Notes

1. Liam (4): I got two hearts. I have a heart from nana and a heart from hopa.  I have a daddy heart and a mommy heart cause she born me.  When I’m happy my heart gets bigger.

2. It’s interesting to me that the letter K looks like a boot and that the word KICK begins and ends with one.

3. Said to myself while recently labeling some photographs with double K’s: The KKK has given the letter K a bad name.

4. The Gaelic alphabet doesn’t have a letter K, only a C.  It seems redundant that our alphabet has three letters that make the same sound, C, K and Q, and that some words – like black, shock, brick and clock – use both the C and K to say what either letter alone could do.

5. See the post in which it rains apples like cats and dogs, where Liam says, “Run Bryce” and we sing “We got two cows and they’re chasing us now” HERE.

6. When my son Josh was little he thought cats were girls and dogs were boys.  According to Liam, the white pumpkins I grew are girls and the orange ones are boys. Listen HERE.

7. Seen on Facebook:  I think that you should be able to like people’s likes on Facebook, and they should be able to like that you like their like, and so forth.

8. What would the Buddha say?  Facebook is about to bring online social interaction down to a like or dislike button?

9. Said while recently while eating my first lobster roll in Massachusetts:  Personally, I think lobster and yoga are overrated.  I’d rather eat fish and go dancing.

10. It makes sense that the word revved has two v’s in it.

11. I hear voices: The muse brings vital inspiration that renews me, but it isn’t normally a part of my daily conversation like the weather.  As sustaining as it is, I don’t budget it in like my food bill.  I don’t buy it flowers often enough.

12. A phrase or line may never be as pure as when it first comes to you (even if it needs editing).

13:  Liam:  Bryce, do you know that girls are smarter?  Bryce: Yeah.  Me: How do you know girls are smarter?  Liam: Cause I’m smart.
