Weekend Whatnot
Wow! My post about the deadbeat dad garnered twenty-five comments in just two days. A new record for my blog. Maybe I'll swear more.
A brain-eating amoeba that lives in lakes and attacks through your nose?!? Okay, I don't care how silly we look. We're all wearing nose clips to the beach next summer.
History is my son's favorite school subject. Once a week we sit down to watch a lesson-related DVD that I get from Netflix. It's going to be really hard to find anything better than the PBS documentary Benjamin Franklin, a stunning 3-hour look at the life of an amazing man. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys history.
I'm a senior citizen in blog years. That's according to Clare's Dad, who handed out Blogger Reflection Awards last week, and was nice enough to honor me with one of them. That's odd, I don't feel old. I look old, but I don't feel old.
Chocolate milk is the new sports drink. Apparently, it helps with muscle recovery during strenuous exercise and training. My alma mater, the University of Idaho, just announced that they will be keeping refrigerators fully stocked with chocolate milk in their weight room for all student-athletes.
We're slaves to our car. It's almost like an extension of our house. A family in Southern California, the automobile capital of the world, willingly gave up their car six months ago and has never been happier or healthier.

I love your Weekend Whatnots. It's kind of refreshing to read "news" tidbits that aren't depressing.
Warm-water amoeba IIRC. You have that up there?
Oh GOOD. Because I love chocolate milk.
I think more people will be using the weight room now. College students LOVE chocolate milk!
A senior citizen in blog years? Does that mean you get a discount? I started blogging in August 2003. Do I get a discount too? Cheap keyboards, maybe?
I remember when I started blogging, I had to blog uphill in the snow—both ways!
