Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! Pattie has been very nice to me today, taking me places and buying me things. Here I am with the birthday cake, which happens to be a cheesecake.

Smarter than a Fifth Grader

This week's announcement that there is significant water on the moon, reminded me of a story about Carl's youth and water on the moon.

It seems that when Carl was in fifth grade, his class went on a field trip to a college to hear about science. Young Carl asserted that there could be water on the moon. He was first rebuked by the college professor and then rebuked by his teacher for bothering the college prof and then rebuked by his parents for being rebuked by his teacher.

Ah poetic justice...



So it looks like no adult involved was smarter than the fifth-grader!

Today's Guest Star: Dr. Pattie Thomas

P. came up with a quote I liked: "You're not a loser if you're in a no-win situation. "

The Limit of My Creative Energies

There was an old, bad Europop song in the 1980's that had the line, "I sometimes feel like somebody's watching me. " Today, I sang instead, to the same melody line, "I sometimes feel like somebody's watching TV. " I would add an audio file for clarification, but I'll probably get sued for this as it is.
