29 Things That Help Make an Amazing Two Weeks

I’m not one to catalog my travels and experiences is such rote ignominious ways, but I don’t think the hard drives of my readers would be able to process all the information and data if I were to write down in detail all of the events of the last two weeks.

Write below for clarifications on any of the above. Or simply write what amazing things happened to you in the last two weeks?

I’m Spartacus – I mean a Cheetah – I mean a Kindergartener. Ok, I’m definitely the last one.

No matter where you go in the world there will always be superheroes. And where there are superheroes there will always be little people dressing up like superheroes. What fun to hide behind a mask of heroism. And who knows, maybe those blue and black tights will turn into real action one day. Maybe, but probably not. They sure do look cool now though. Especially the cheetah… hmm, the costume seems oddly familiar.

Superman’s first wheels.

Batman 2 ready?
