I was killing time at the Houston airport, listening to my BF detail the evils of the state of Texas, home of GW. We went to numerous shops-o-crap to peruse their products. One store had all these cheeseball goodies you could buy with your name on them: keychains, bookmarks, mugs, stickers. The stickers were great. I could buy a little notepad with sheets of (the same eight) stickers that all said my name. But then we saw it. The pad of SWAK stickers.
SWAK?
We inquired with the counter girlie. What was this SWAK? Were we all out of it? Were we not hip with the vernacular of the young pepes? If so, the counter girlie wasn’t either…
But SWAK. What an awesome word.
We later realized that SWAK stands for Sealed With a Kiss.

I am on your boyfriend’s side as far as GW and Texas goes. And as far as the Bible and literacy goes, I think what’s most important is that we teach our kids to enjoy and want to learn to read, period. Let’s keep religion where it belongs………in the home and at your place of worship. Most importantly, there is a reason why our forefathers’ emphasized the importance of the concept of separation of Church and State in our Public and Government institutions. I respectfully disagree with you, but I still like your Blog! -Jammin (www.jammindog1.blogspot.com)

I would like to apologize for this silly Bible bit on my blog. Blogger has been having some issues and that was actually part of a post from someone else’s blog! I assure you, I would not make commentary on the Bible in this forum. Unless it was some funny sarcastic comment… Anyway, the Bible references have been removed.

Sealed with a Kiss, baby

Hi Kate. No need to apologize, certainly if the Bible bit was a Blogger issue. It just struck a nerve with me, nothing more. On the lighter side, religion and humor somtimes work well together. One of my favorite movies is Monte Python’s “Meaning of Life.”
