It is funny because it is true.

If you don’t already feel insignificant, you certainly will after watching this footage modeled from pictures taken by the Hubble. Will asked, “Are those planets?” “No, those are galaxies that contain billions of planets.” “Awesome.”

My family is in town watching my children during their summer vacation, so I have a bit of time to catch up on my blogging 🙂 I thought this article on MSNBC listing a few surprising factors that contribute to longer life-spans really interesting.

the sleep over

August 7th, 2009

We’re having our first sleepover as parents. Will and Matthew, his bestie, have been planning this event since they were barely able to talk, debating why they each had to go to their own houses at night and couldn’t just spend the night together. The pressure for a sleep over climaxed around Will’s birthday. He’s […]

nothing is surprising in the city

the mixed tape – as revolutionary as sliced bread?

June 13th, 2009

It is Saturday morning, and I’m making banana bread listening to an Apple iTunes Genius composed playlist that I seeded with Led Zepplin’s Going to California.
