n-p is as far as i can get today.

n is for nel noddings. i used a lot of her books last semester. the goddard library is pretty great. they'll mail me any book I want, and track things down through interlibrary loan if i ask. I forgot to bring back noddings ' book, Challenge to Care, when i went to the residency. but, there are no late fees. woo-hoo.

o is for oil. i went to a maple syrup farm with rowie, mike and isaac. there was a video playing in the outdown wooden "theater" about syrup production. the old farmer in the video was chopping wood and said, warms you up choppin it, warms you up burnin' it. now tell me why we need all that oil from the a-rabs!"

p is for pickle. the new rock paper scissors is beer pickle dad. dad eats pickle, pickle spoils beer, beer spoils dad.
