My brother recently texted me an xkcd where the US map had 10 states strategically removed and asked whether I could figure out which ones were missing. In less than 5 minutes I had. He asked how I did it, had I cheated. And I said that no, i just know all 50 states in alphabetical order so I just went down the list. He thought that knowing all 50 states in alphabetical order sounded crazy - I replied that it was a song for 6th grade graduation, so I will know them forever.
I used the state capitols song from Animaniacs for that one.
And Columbus is the capital of O-HI-O
When I was in 2nd grade my family spent the year in Orange County (my dad was transferred temporarily), and I learned to sing the 50-state song because we had to sing it every week at assembly. 45 years later, I still remember it and use.
My employer, who fishes people out of the water and so forth, has decided that my office-mates and I are essential workers, and is making vaccines available to us. So I have an appointment on Thursday for the first shot. Sadly I have multiple meetings the rest of the day, so I hope it doesn't knock me out (as I hear it does for some people).
I'm pretty excited about being able to go back to dog class and maybe get my hair cut...
See, I didn’t learn those songs so I don’t have that knowledge. There are a bunch of states that it is very easy for me to forget about.
I live such a sheltered life that I had no idea that there was such a thing as DIY vaccines. Yikes!
Steph, how are you and Tim doing today?
People watching the Super Bowl and/or commercials and half time entertainment? I haven't even checked to see what the entertainment is! But I will be watching.

I didn't either so those are often a challenge for me.

Happy to report that a sore arm, the next day, was really my only complaint.
Steph, how are you and Tim doing today?
Less fatigue. This cough is really freaking annoying, although Tim's cough seems MUCH better than yesterday.
Timelines all!
Is it wrong that when I read this:
Mom sent us an Edible Arrangement today, so we have a lot of fruit cut up in cute shapes, and the kitty has a helium balloon.
I read it as an edibles arrangement?
Thank you for the 33 year old bat video. So cute!
Also- I want to watch Amanda Gorman without watching the game. . . do I try about an hour in to the scheduled time?
I read it as an edibles arrangement?
That would have been even better!
I’m sure there is someone who delivers edibles arrangements
Glad there is improvement, Tep. Hope the cough eases up for you as well.
