Road Runner

My latest obsession is with the cartoon show, Road Runner. I first learned about the show through my Hot Wheels Dodge Road Runner car. Whenever it would race in Gravity Cup, Daddy would sing the Road Runner theme song

Road Runner
That coyote's after you
Road Runner
If he catches you you're through


Well, last night, I asked Daddy about the song and he told me about the cartoon. He described a number of the plotlines from the show, and it sounded really interesting. Next, we found a bunch of episodes on the web. Check them out here.

I love this cartoon. It combines many of my favorite elements in shows. First, there is no danger the Road Runner will ever be caught, which is good. Second, the coyote invents lots of crazy machines. Also good. Third, the machines often involve a variety of explosive or other forms of destruction. Excellent. Finally, at about 45 seconds to 1 minute per plotline, the pace is outstanding.

Great show. I give it four stars.

Kindergarten Concert

 



Today I performed a bunch of songs at the Kindergarten concert. Many of these songs also had some cool dance moves. It was great. I had a lot of fun. The only bad part was when I was given a cow puppet for the alphabet song. That song lists many different animals including Queenie the Quail and Willie the Weasel. However, a COW is not one of the animals listed. I thought I was going to cry, but held back tears. Eventually, I was able to get a fish puppet for the "going to the zoo" song that followed. That made me much happier.

I liked that my whole family was in the audience. I waved to them.

Here is a slideshow.
