I know I’ve been away for awhile….
But. I do have an excuse. I will be taking off for the Middle East soon. I knew I couldn’t stay away from the action for too long. That’s not the reason for this post though. For the past week or two there has been a mystery in my daughter’s kindergarden class. It seems that few weeks ago she mentioned that her class was allowed to drink white milk, or chocolate milk in school, but not the pink milk. You know, pink milk, strawberry. Upon further questioning my wife found that other classes got to drink pink milk, but not Jordan’s.
Now, my wife is not one to leave well enough alone. Me? I figured it was a health nut, 60’s teacher, that was held hostage and only fed pink milk for three months. Finally, the wife couldn’t take and wrote a note asking, “why no pink milk?” The answer? It has 31 grams of sugar.
The upcoming election is just Jordan’s kindergarden class writ large. It’s about liberty and control of your own life. On one side we have people, hopefully, who believe liberty is the cure to the common condition, and on the other you have those that would deny kids pink milk because they know what’s best for us.
Me? I decided I would pack my daughter’s lunch tomorrow and I bought the biggest bottle of pink milk I could find :)

Biggest pink milk. HA! Sounds like something my wife would do. Fantastic.
Be careful over there Larry. We’re thinking of you and praying for your safety.

Good luck out there and be careful.

What about getting natural strawberries freshly plucked from the fields of Plant City, FL?
This is, of course, a shameless plug for the Strawberry Festival being held in Plant City as we… wait, they ran out of strawberries?
Okay, buy the pink milk.
Larry, best of luck over in the dust, but are you sure you should be posting that online? What if Drudge finds out…?
Beth says:
Welcome back, Larry–you’ve been missed!!!
I can’t believe you’re going back to play in the sandbox some more, but then…once a Marine, always a Marine, right? :D You’re a hero, dude!
I am so making “Vote for Pink Milk!” my mantra during this election. HAHAHAHA!

It just occurred to me, but only in a public school could they conclude that chocolate is healthier for you than strawberries. ;) You tax dollars hard at work. :P
