A mid-week greeting to all!
How’s your week going so far? Mine has been low-key, and believe it or not, no dancing yet.
Yesterday’s post about education was well received. Perspectives from UK, Finland, Canada, South Africa, Spain, New Zealand, India, Argentina, and USA .. and all about statements made many years ago. I should have another collection ready for next week.
The next post is Life: The Musical – Act 16 featuring songs with dead, die, dies, died, or death in the title. Get your songs ready because curtain time is Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Eastern US).
Below the image are your mid-week bits of satire from The Onion. For that extra challenge, jump into the fray by developing your very own original headline from the words below. So hey … my combo is at the end.
Have a good rest of the week.

I applaud your efforts as uninhibited grandfather gave me a good laugh …. and the other one reminds me of revisionist approaches … in other words, two thumbs up for you!

Shimon,
We enjoy dancing … and one of the best parts has been discovering new friends as we’ve meet many good people.
Off topic … I recall our previous discussions about education, specifically a post of mine that you mentioned in a post. Please see the post previous to this one as it is the first in a series you may enjoy. Hope all is well with you.

Passing on the Combo Challenge is OK because it’s not a requirement … and a fried brain is a good excuse! Cheers to a wonderful 2015 to you and WW … and we’re still dancing.

I got WW on the dance floor for hours in the antebellum place we stayed in for MLK celebration. (In its heyday, the dance area used to be called “The Old White Club”–I roared!!)
