Pomegranates Rule!

I have had a pomegranate on my desk for months - really. why are they so inspiring? Jewel like fruit in a lovely red shell, mysterious and seductive - bold and
I was going to paint it when it was nice and ripe - now it is starting to dry out. I have been working on my postcards and not really accomplishing much. The pomegranate is calling to me - what will become of it?

Down with Leap Frog

Well I am a bit upset because this fine company or so I thought up until now, is discontinuing support of several of their best learning tools. The turbo twist hand held spelling and math games can be expanded to match school curriculum, with the use of a "mind station" to download new problems or spelling words, or to create your own set of exercises. My children love these learning toys that are now obsolete. It is just plain sad that the new programs encourage more use of electronics with pens that read for a child ( http://www.leapfrog.com/tag/ ), when did it became wrong to read with your children?
