'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes. That was one of Rio's big selling points.
They also had the largest projected budget for the games.
I'm glad Madrid didn't get it-- while it would have been cool to see it in Spain again, I didn't care for Juan Antonio Sammaranch's "Oh, I'm old, give it to Madrid."
I blame the goat.
Not Tino? Or was it Tino's goat?
This weekend my BFF is visiting for her high school reunion and staying with me. So I'll be spending some time with her, some time gardening, and some time picking up the art from Greece that's finally at my post office.
I'm checking out my cousin's facebook page. Two weeks ago, she and her fiance shocked her family with a surprise wedding--they got everyone to a local park with a tiny chapel and just got hitched without a big to-do. So awesome and fun and a nice alternative to eloping. I hope I can attend the reception when they get back from their honeymoon.
I haven't watched this, but this excerpt cracked me up:
Chris Rock Compares Roman Polanski To OJ Simpson (VIDEO)
On 'The Jay Leno Show' Thursday night, Rock made the fair if hilarious point that even the most sensational trial in recent memory didn't go places that some Polanski supporters are headed.
"People are defending Roman Polanski because he made good movies 30 years ago?" he said. "Are you kidding me? Even Johnny Cochran didn't have the nerve to go, 'Well did you see OJ play against New England?'"
As we're riding the elevators up, he looks up at an elderly couple sharing the ride and says, "Are you old?"
A couple of weeks ago we were walking through the park, past an elderly lady sitting on a bench. C. beamed at her and asked loudly, "Bist du eine alte Oma?" (Are you an old granny?). Fortunately the lady smiled back and said that she was, but oh boy, that could have gone either way.
This set of 6 dry-measure cups nests neatly just like traditional Russian matryoshkas. They accurately measure 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 1 full cup, and they’re built from heavy-duty, food-safe, long-life engineering plastics.
Our M-Cups Measuring Cups are useful, easy to store, and quite charming… so why not doll up your kitchen with a little Russian folklore?
C. beamed at her and asked loudly, "Bist du eine alte Oma?" (Are you an old granny?)
But that's the highest compliment a kid can give you! That means they think you are the source of all comfort, hugs and warm laps, cookies and cocoa, bedtime stories and puppet shows! Bring C. on over here, I'll let her call me alte Oma anytime.

I'm trying not to be a mom who shushes the kids. They tend to make some pretty obvious observations about people. But they're honest and society gives them a lot of leeway. I want them to understand and celebrate the fact that everyone is different without actually, you know, saying it aloud.
