Theme for the Week of 7/30: Circles

One time in school, our teacher brought out a big cardboard circle with a hole cut into the middle.  We had to pass it around our table and take turns pretending it was something.  For example, one person picked up the circle and said it was a bagel and pretended to eat it.  Another kid put her head through it and said it was a necklace.  Someone else pretended it was the window to his submarine.  Basically, it was like improv comedy without being funny.

That was when I was eight.  Now I'm 24 and I'm making "Circles" the theme for this week--hopefully we can be funnier than children holding a piece of cardboard.  After all, the last thing I want to read about is Jerome eating a fake bagel or Justin Douglas peering out of his imaginary submarine.
