I'm investing time and $25 to learn more about how we feed our school kids which stretches my budget but when you consider how many Get-Bud as in beer, maybe it's not That much. Overall, more people are putting together the equation that poor food equals poor health. Diabesity is not just a term for medical people and the media..too many young people growing up on 'donuts and Dunkin' or what have you, are getting the results of said habits..diabetes on the heels of obesity, yikes!'.

The President of Bard College is Leon Botstein and he was born (according to Wikipedia) Dec 14th, 1946 for those who may like to look up meanings (Chinese astrology by the year, regular astrology, or even in a more general sense The Enneagram or Chinese elemental type) or make connections with such things as the Sandy Hook tragedy which was 12-14-12..Knowing of positive events on a certain date can be a counterpoint event to remember every day not only can have its troubles but is the birthdate of about 9 million people,mostly wonderful people with good lives YetI digress, but that's part of

Met a nice young fellow with personality and people skills in the grocery store where he was allowed to ask folks to buy make up..Quite a few takers in the 15 min I saw him.

 While we live in sleepy kind of town, when we're reay to have fun, watch out. All the kids and even some growed-ups get into costume and put on quite a show at the Falls Village Children's Theatre or the local HoUSAtonic High School.

I'll crunch the numbers for you. Forty years can be calculated as 4 x10 to get 40. April is the 4th month of the year which makes a nice time to represent 40 year olds..now count 9 days into April to represent the 41 ( on 4-1) through 49 (on 4-9), then it's easy to arrive count "50" on 4-10.
