   When I was in high school I suffered from frequent migraines, so my youngest brother (10 years younger and brilliant) would help me with my homework. These strips with Jason helping Paige frequently trigger memories of those times.

   I’m pretty sure Annie is taking academic tests to determine her placement in the program.

   Was going to Mexico ever an option? I thought only rich kids got to travel for spring break. The Foxes aren’t quite in that class. That and the fact that Paige is too young to travel alone.

   I loved learning and mostly got A’s, but I hated school. Some of the teachers were nice but none of the kids were.

   I once saw a turtle outrun a dog. Of course the race ended suddenly when the dog came to the end of his leash. But still even for those 10 feet, I was surprised that the turtle could run at all.

   I grew up in a large city with a street light shining in my bedroom window and within a block of a hospital, sirens all night long. I got used to sleeping with lights and noise. Then I got married to a country boy from another state. Out here night is DARK and I can’t stand it. I sleep with 2 night lights and it’s still not enough. On those occasions when the power goes out in the middle of the night the silence and darkness wake me up.

   I had a pet funnel spider one summer. It lived in the corner of my kitchen window and only came out of its funnel in search of food. I kept it well supplied with flies.

   I hate shoe shopping. All I’m looking for is a comfortable pair of shoes that go with everything so I only need one pair.

   I remember as a child Mom serving us SPAM and fried corn meal mush for breakfast. I wouldn’t eat it then and I won’t eat it now.

    I have a real landline that still works when the power goes out. I’ve had it for nearly 40 years. My DSL internet also comes over the same wires. We’re too far out in the boonies for cable.
