At the suggestion of Mapy Chavez I visited Alcanzando on facebook where I discovered this link. Check it out, especially the photos section with all their smart sayings, and especially if you're an autism mama, single or not.

Jerry, “Shoes for industry.” “Is this thing on?” “This is Principal Poop.” And all the other Firesign Theatre lines you WMU Psych undergrads memorized and joked around with during the late ‘60s. Thanks for helping me start the First Fly-by-Night Underground College of Kalamazoo, when you were an undergrad; it continues on as the Behavior Analysis Training System. Thanks for being one of the few grad students who understood, appreciated, and actually used the behavior systems analysis approach I vainly championed in Psy 651 and 652. Thanks for playing such a major role in making Croyden Avenue School a great school for children with disabilities, where so many fledgling behavior analysts acquired the skills that would allow them to go out into the world and help so many others. It continues on as the Woods Edge Learning Center, continuing to serve the Kalamazoo community and continuing to transform fledgling behavior analysts into skilled professionals who move on to help the world community. Thanks for the BCBA that’s causing behavior analysis to be a major force for helping others worldwide. Thanks for the visit to Disney World. Thanks for the mellow times we had. And, yes, my tears flow. But always remember, “Shoes for industry."--Dick

But what if missing a workout hit you where it really hurts – in the wallet?
