Spring is Here

• We await the college acceptance letters this month. It's an exciting time. In the meantime, Hermione wins a bid (again) to Internationals (science fair). This time it's in Indiana. Why can't it be somewhere a little more exotic? Do we really want people coming from all over the world to experience America Indianapolis-style? C'mon. I say Hawaii.

• Filling out an application for a dream job this week, I get the first question ever on a job application that made me laugh. It read: 'Are you, or should you be, taking any medication?'

• Bliss has to make up a slew of fantasy organisms for a school project. His creatures come from the planet Kreptonia and include a piranha looking creature called the "Bit-ahn-ya" and a surfer-looking monkey species named the "Flunky". He should look into a career in animation, is what I'm thinking.
