Another Clean Mammogram
Good morning! It's a pretty vanilla Wednesday aside from the side being down to protest SOPA/PIPA. I dropped the girls off at their schools and head to the office, listening to "Reamde" along the way. It's getting good as several threads of the story are coming together. Sunny and 36°F at the moment. Today Michelle has a mammogram. No word on whether our insurance gets a 50% discount on the charges.
For light bulb nerds like me: Picking the Brightest, Most Efficient Bulb via the WSJ.
Via @adamcurry: “While everyone is busy photoshopping their 'dark avatars', [protesting SOPA/PIPA] your government is raising the debt ceiling by $1.2 trillion.”
NH jobless rate fell to 5.1 percent in December. 4th lowest unemployment in the nation. <stereotype>Yep, growing trees, spinning flannel, and distilling maple syrup keeps us busy up here in NH! </stereotype>
Via @daveweigel: “WikiPedia SOPA protest wreaking havoc on yankee journalists who want to pretend to know stuff about South Carolina!”
Having weight issues?? My dad jokes: In the shower you should wash your hair with Dawn Dish Soap instead of your typical shampoo. The latter usually says, "For extra volume and body", while the former says, "Dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove"
Yet another clean mammogram today for The Mrs.™ I even hear that she got a discount rate! But no, not half off!
Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia. Modeling like this at 10 Years Old?! (related link) Can we let kids be kids?
RT @Fector: “Obama admin calls the Keystone Pipeline deadline ‘arbitrary.’ Unlike the vote for Obamacare which had to be done NOW NOW NOW!”
Left work a little after 6:30, listening to more of "Reamde" on the commute home. The various plot threads are getting more intertwined. Michelle re-heated me some dinner and I watched last Sunday's new episode of Once Upon A Time with Michelle and the boys. It's one of our favorite new shows of the season. I just picked up our giddy girls from Youth Group. Good night all!
