The price of a free lunch

I know it's back-to-school time when I get it in the mailbox. It’s my annual letter from the Monroe County school system. No, it's not the school supply list or my kids' teacher assignments. It's the system's effort to recruit my children to become dependent on the taxpayers for their cafeteria meals.

Going to the picture show

A friend recently suggested we go to the movie and when I asked if that was the same as a “picture show,” she politely informed me I was giving away my age. I countered with the response that today’s movies are what we used to call picture shows and related the story of the first theater I went to. It was the Pastime in Sandersville on a Saturday afternoon and we saw “Song of the South” at the picture show. Wow, did I ever give away my age.
