"23 Skidoo"

AHHH I'm 23 today!

I'm not sure where to begin this post.I'll start with which I am most excited.. My niece Kenleigh Prettyman was born Sunday night. 7lbs. 11 ounces. She's soooo cute.(early indications are)She has dimples and she also had a huge head of hair...(red) I got to hold her for about twenty minutes before I had to drive back to school and she was soooo cute. A little butterball baby that was seriously indescribably heart melting.

I found out yesterday that I got a job at James Madison's Montpelier as a part time Museum Educator. I can't wait! From what I've heard and understand of the job details I look forward to the variety it will allow me to have, while continuing to build my resume/ and supplimenting(

23 SKIDOO

"It is at a triangular site where Broadway and Fifth Avenue—the two most important streets

of New York—meet at Madison Square, and because of the juxtaposition of the streets and the park across the street, there was a wind-tunnel effect here. In the early twentieth century,

men would hang out on the corner here on Twenty-third Street and watch the wind blowing women's dresses up so that they could catch a little bit of ankle. This entered into popular culture and there are hundreds of postcards and

illustrations of women with their dresses blowing up in front of the Flatiron Building. And it supposedly is where the slang

expression "23 skidoo" comes from because the police would come and give the voyeurs the

23 skidoo to tell them to get out

of the area-
