I learned a new thing today



The gamma rays studied in high energy astrophysics are not the same gamma rays that turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk.

And some other stuff.

Good to know!

Brain wear

Leave it to the Danish to make helmets fashionable......









If they could only guarantee that they could make you look as adorable as the Danish girls that are modeling them.....

Let Freedom Ring

The boy ate his breakfast in front of the computer this morning and we watched and listened to Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" Speech. When I asked his thoughts afterward he said "I am really glad that he gave that speech and did what he did so that people would feel like they had the power to fight for their rights and freedom."

Wow. Sometimes 8 year old's are actually paying attention.









When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

A good way to start a Sunday.

Sleep in until 9:46

Start the coffee.

Back to bed for a quick snuggle (PG).

Heat up leftover Red Iguana tamales for breakfast.

Drink coffee, eat Mexican, start the day.

Machine Gun Mondays

Why not end the day with a little Portishead?



Does it make anyone else want to play drums on Guitar Hero World tour?
