I’m a night owl. I’m with Snoopy on being allergic to mornings – well, early ones anyway.
When I was a kid my mother gave me a pennant of Lucy and it said “I’m frustrated, inhibited, and no one understands me”. She said it described me.
What a thing to give a kid!

Charlie Brown’s self esteem is about the same level as his baseball batting average. I can identify with that.
And it seems like he can never do anything right or good enough…boy, do I know how that feels!
Charles Schultz creation of “The Peanuts” displayed a number of different characters with the various personalities of kids with those who were insecure – Charlie Brown and Linus with his blanket – all the way up to the know-it-all bully – Lucy. Kids we have all had to encounter and deal with over the years.

But Charlie Brown became the center of the gang; not for being the best friend or greatest player; but for being just the opposite – someone we could all identify with…even if we did have an ego the size of Lucy van Pelt with her Psychology help booth for five cents.
