The strength of the Wolf

The Law of the Jungle

(From The Jungle Book)

by Rudyard Kipling

Now this is the Law of the Jungle –

as old and as true as the sky;

And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper,

but the Wolf that shall break it must die.


As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk

the Law runneth forward and back –

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf,

and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Happy Valentine’s Day

It’s that mushy time of year!

Book break

In a day that’s filled with school, work, and chores, it’s a blessed relief to put all worries aside and escape into the funny, exciting, suspenseful, and informative pages of a good book. What are we waiting for? Let’s all take a book break now!

Super bowl haircut!

Super Bowl Sunday is for football fans, of course. But a super bowl cut is for fans of the famous hairstyle that looks as if a bowl was placed over someone’s head and  the hair below it was snipped away. One of the most celebrated bowl cuts ever belonged to Moe Howard of the Three Stooges. Moe rocks that super bowl haircut!

It’s Martin Luther King Day

Civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed that children would one day live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. He hated bullies and violence and worked for change through peaceful means. Today we take time to remind ourselves that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Thank you for your work and wisdom, Dr. King!

New year cheer

Does the thought of starting a whole new year give you the heebie jeebies? When you look at this great cartoon by legendary Mad magazine artist Don Martin, is it like gazing into a mirror?
Would you like to smile in the jaws of stress and tension?

And turn that frown upside-down?

Well, there’s only one way to do it. It works every time!

Happy New Year!

It’s brand new…
It’s never been seen before…
2013 is here!
No need to save the wrapping. Just open it up and have the best year ever!

Holiday blessings

Share the love.
Spread the wealth.
Keep on truckin’.

Gingerbread twist

One of the tastiest traditions of the holiday season starts out looking like this.

It’s gingerbread dough! And it can be used to make a variety of delicious treats.
Gingerbread people are good…

Gingerbread houses are good, too…

But a gingerbread AT-AT is where it’s at!

Help defeat the Empire! Start eating!

‘Tis the season!

Guests are dropping in…

Festive hats are being worn…

And strangers are exchanging warm wishes…

It can only mean ONE THING…
Holiday season is here at last!
