But ...It's freakin' shocking, isn't it? But I guess that's the price we pay for living where we do. (I'm in Marin County. But in the poorer part of the county. As such, there's a lot of subsidizing by us "rich" people for those who have talent but can't afford to pay. I try to argue that I can't afford it either, but they seem to think our annual income says otherwise.)Patois42https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764936858778730692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472781055373633410.post-27996230420664929412010-05-04T21:58:00.659-07:002010-05-04T21:58:00.659-07:00Holy Moly--$1500???

He knows no fear, which provides me with an endless supply of fear. (You know, fear of bloody noses and lost teeth and the like.) He really wanted to sign up for the select team in the coming year, but we told him that, as a third child, we don't love him enough to part with FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS! Maybe we'll love him more next year!Patois42https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764936858778730692noreply@blogger.com
