A few such were pictured in cheerleading uniforms. Funny that - it seemed to fit very well with my own American dreams, which also seem to involve large wooden paddles.

I've got more fun out of such simple pastimes and pleasures than anything else that I can think of. But imagine trying to explain that component of the American Dream to a class of high school students!! I’m with you Amber.

As I understand it, the American dream is "making it" regardless your descent and background. It can mean a whole lot of different things: For X,Y, and Z - the former USSR friends, it means: -American BA and MBA education -Stable job in the corporate America (the country is so wealthy that they can get paid just for counting it). -A suburban condo. -A nice car and all kinds of gadgets they didn't know back home. For J it means yet something else: -Good liberal arts education -Owning land -Owning a large home to fill with kids. -Send kids to the private school. -Grow food. -Have a meaningful employment. -Start a college and more schools. As to me, I dream simply. Now all I need is a thicker, thuddier cane. Abel and Haron, please forgive the long, non-kinky post.

As I understand it, the American dream is “making it” regardless your descent and background. It can mean a whole lot of different things:

For X,Y, and Z – the former USSR friends, it means:

-American BA and MBA education
-Stable job in the corporate America (the country is so wealthy that they can get paid just for counting it).
-A suburban condo.
-A nice car and all kinds of gadgets they didn’t know back home.

For J it means yet something else:

-Good liberal arts education
-Owning land
-Owning a large home to fill with kids.
-Send kids to the private school.
-Grow food.
-Have a meaningful employment.
-Start a college and more schools.

As to me, I dream simply. Now all I need is a thicker, thuddier cane.

My time there was in the North-East, so perhaps that's a whole other thing to your part of the States. (There must be thousands of Americans reading this...come on guys..we won't tell anybody if you proffer your opinion....Pinky promise!!)

Happy New Year all of you, guys! (We had a vanilla celebration and the most delightful one at that with our college friends from the former USSR who are way on the way to achieving the American dream, so J. and I will try to make up for the lack of backside soreness tonight.) Great idea, Rob!

Can't say that I would have chosen the same cane that Haron did, (can't even imagine having to go and select one - that's done for me) but you guys are more seasoned than me, so I best not speak too soon lest I have to eat my words - again. I actually came across a blog that makes all of us put together look pretty tame and I have had quite the education in the past few days......
