I figure that since Connery and Emerson will not be joining the Boy or Girl Scouts that I've probably dodged a major children-selling-things bullet. That means I'll never pimp my blog to try to sell you Thin Mints or popcorn. I will, however, take this one opportunity to try to sell you a raffle ticket to support my son's Montessori. Tickets are $10, and the winner gets $500. Since the school only has a hundred kids, I would think the odds will be pretty good. So buy one! To sweeten the pot, I'll enter everyone who buys a ticket in a mini-blog drawing for a shipment of homemade cookies.
