Monday, Monday…
Not a bad day in Playa de Mail. I spent most of it in flats. There was also more Goblet of Fire goodness, including Professor Moody. Gotta like the Moody. And, to top it all off, the day passed quickly.

NPR/PRI Programming
Interesting segment on Talk of the Nation about “Teens and Sex.”

Teens today live in a world saturated with sex. It’s there every time they watch TV, open a magazine or listen to the latest pop song. And that means parents are under even greater to talk with their teens about sex. But that’s easier said than done. How can parents help kids make the right decisions about sex?

The bottom line was that parents just need to TALK to their kids… without being afraid to just give them honest answers to the questions that they ask. Seems like common sense, doesn’t it? Somewhere between “I hope I don’t turn out like my parents…” and “When I was your age…” it seems that parents and their kids have lost the ability to simply “talk.” I was blessed with parents who were not afraid to openly answer the random questions that my sibs and I asked them.

Quote of the Day: Will Smith was on The Late Show with David Letterman. At one point, he was talking about a recent trip to Australia (to visit his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, on the set of The Matrix 2 and The Matrix 3).

    Will: In Australia, it’s cool. I mean, the white women have black women bodies.
    Dave ::: stare:::
    Will: No… that’s a good thing, y’know what I mean!?! They have…. *gestures at various body parts*…. and…. and….
    Dave: You realize that there is nothing that I can say here…
    ::: both laugh :::

And that’s the news for the night.

Peace.
