Aww thank you so much Dan :) Funny you should mention that, when I don't finish a piece in time to schedule for the morning, I wonder if I should just put it when I'm finished. But I kinda like people starting out their day with a giggle.

Robin, I felt a little down today, but when I read your article, I laughed uncontrollably! The way you mixed political issues and the movie Madagascar was superb!

Hockey reference. When you learn to play hockey you’re taught to keep your “elbows up” as a defence mechanism- signalling you’re ready to protect or to fight back.

Kath beat me to it. But thanks for asking that question, I might do a short post on it because a lot of people don't fully understand what it means.
