Goodwill to all (except for Barney)

Although it was tempting to go the yard sale route, Sharon and I decided it was time to get rid of a load of old clothes and junk we've been harboring for several years. So, we piled up the couch full of our former "treasures" - including 2 old printers and a fax machine, and hauled them off to Goodwill. Nathan, intrigued by the mountain that had been created, proceeded to climb towards the summit, where he preceded to, uh, make a phone call?
And on another Nathan note, in addition to the stories we read for him each night, Nathan has started wanting to tell one of his own, which I usually have to end up embellishing and/or finishing. Tonight's story featured Spider Man and Iron Man teaming up on a quest to go to South America,hunting the evil Barney (yes, the purple dinosaur) who was hiding in a cave eating a bologna sandwich. I guess I'm secretly glad that Nathan went along with the realization most adults have known for many years now - that there's just something just really creepy about Barney.
