Reason #4081 not to go to Mississippi:

Waiting to get sick

Starting this past Monday the other three in the house have been sick. Connor was sick Monday night and Tuesday with a fever and coughing. Tuesday saw Logan and Lindy coming down with it and they've been sick for three days now with no real sign of it letting up. They've been sleeping in our room while I've been been sleeping in Logan's bed. Every time I feel a twinge of anything, I think it's coming for me. I just hope they get better in the next day or so and I avoid it. What I'm guessing will happen is that tomorrow it will hit me and I'll be sick all weekend.

So here's hoping for wellness all around.

As good as it gets

One of my labmates told me she read an article that said we're our best looking between the ages of 34 and 37, with 34 typically being the best. I'm 34. I've always been a late bloomer, but this could be it. All I can say is I tried.

Mad Men

Mad Men is finally coming back at the end of this month and thanks to some asshole, we have hacked cell phone pics of Christina Hendricks. Hooray!

That guy

Have you ever had one person that you absolutely can't stand and no matter how much you try to forget about them they keep popping up in your head? I have a guy at work like that and I've tried so many times to talk to him since we have to work in some of the same circles, but every time he proves to be an asshole. He's so goddamn cocky and almost everything he says comes out in this condescending tone, unless of course it's to a superior, then it's ass kissing all the way. I really wish he'd move to another company, get punched in the face, or lose a nut.

One for Jess

Just thought this was odd...

Things I learned on a field trip

As the season progresses, maple syrup will get darker and more maple flavored. Thus, the earlier in the season, the sweeter and lighter the syrup. It's delicious whereas dark maple syrup can suck it.

The tree tap is called a spile.

Jackson has a Lego axe.

Kids like to collect seeds from pods on the ground and get pissed when they lose said seeds.

An Indian chief discovered maple syrup after leaving his hatchet stuck in a sugar maple tree overnight. His wife had been collecting water at the base of the tree and some of the clear sap got in her bowl. When she cooked with the sap water, maple syrup was magically discovered.

Max thinks I look like a chicken, hahaha, no not really.

Native Americans used to cook with stones in a hollowed out log.

Morgan can't stop talking or moving.

Connor has a Lego axe too.

Squirrels put their nuts in a hole.

Sap comes out of the tree clear.

Flags flying half-mast for Whitney?

Gov. Chris Christie in good ol New Jersey has ordered all state buildings to fly the flag at half-mast on the day of Whitney Houston's funeral. The question on msnbc.com was whether or not they should have done it. My answer is no and fuck you for asking. Feel free to chime in Fronte. I don't care how big a star she was in the 80s and early 90s, when a star dies, no matter how big, you don't treat it like a national day of mourning. Fuck off Christie.

Jack White - Love Interruption

Great new song, and on top of that, I got one of the tri-color singles!! Only 300 of those babies made and I lucked out on the mail order.

Maybe England will win something now

So long Fabio Capello! Let's get a coach who will coach the Brits like they need to be coached. Hopefully this means that John Terry won't be far behind in getting the boot.
