Alarming Report of Errant Feather Duster
As you know, many ostrich feathers end up in feather dusters, and I’m afraid we are having more reports of unpredictable dusters. Here is one recent report from an innocent user: Dear (name withheld): I tested the electrostatic properties of your feather duster on a clear glass beside table top, a wood burning stove top and a LCD television screen with mixed results. It removed dust particles easily from each of these surfaces. I was amazed and gratified. However, the duster changed channels on the TV. Larry King was interviewing some Republicans about the president being a threat to the nation, and I found this to be a fascinating proposition. But upon contact the screen displayed the Nature Channel. The show was about the natural beauty and grace of wild ostriches. I have not been able to change the channel and the show keeps repeating. We'll keep you posted. Innocent-appearing Feather Duster, beware!
More Fourth Grader Fish Creations
Sooner or later we will get a chance to see everyone’s fish, and I wouldn’t want you to think that the only creations we appreciate are those fish who look, well, a little un-fishy. Here’s a sweet little beauty, who could become an almost iconic Museum of Modern Art fish.
Welcome to the Fourth Grade (Assignment: Create One Fish)
Welcome back to class, Boys and Girls, You have done a wonderful job during recess on the assignment to Create One fish. Here's an example of a very interesting prototype. Amazingly, the various spikes and whatnot do not deter this fish from swimming or eating or breathing. We shall see about its reproductive abilities later in the year.

Singing in the New Year
On strolling through the park, we discover a happy but blurry opera singer, hailing the new year. Central Park Sailboat Pond, by Maia C.
Starting Anew
Starting anew is a nice thing to do if you know where you were when you stopped, But if you're like me there's a certain degree of wondering where it was dropped. I remember quite well how I was when it fell, in between and betwixt and befuddled. It might be for the best to begin a new quest, where the waters are clearly less muddled. If beginining anew is the best thing to do, I shall begin twenty-ten optomistic! Away with the fear, it's a happy New Year, Be Happy, be Free, be Joyistic!
