Creating In The Suburbs.

Woohooo!

Today is the first day of school out where I live! The kids on the block; and their screaming and giggling and just general kookiness have subsided. Thank goodness…now I can get some business done.

But wait:

I wonder if all that racket hasn’t somehow contributed to my idea development?

After all, what can yield more creativity than the sight of two pre-teen girls wheeling each other around, during a hurricane in a trash bin — while on their cell phones, describing this activity to their friends?

Perhaps when they have to write their “What I did over my summer vacation”, I will have brought them some inspiration as well.

After all, what can be more curious to a kid than the sight of a grown woman, who walks her best friend (a chocolate labrador) around on a leash, feeds him “cookies” and cleans up his “artwork” — And never seems to go to the office?

They’ve got to be thinking, life doesn’t get any better than hers.

Good luck kids, before you know it, it will be Halloween.
