Weekly Wrap-up #3





I skipped the last two Weekly Wrap-ups. There wasn't much going on around here besides taking our dog to the animal hospital. Poor thing got a bad skin infection. He wouldn't eat or move so we took him in, and he had to say at the hospital for two nights!

St. Bernard + 2 night stay at animal hospital = a huge chunk of change :(

"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" — C.F. Potter, signer of Humanist Manifesto 1930

"Open war is upon you whether you will risk it or not!" — Aragorn, "Return of the King"
