mollyringleTwo mildly amusing things of late:
1) Spotted a cartoon in American Scientist titled "Fermat's Last Novel," with caption, "That's it, 'Guy gets girl, war then peace, don't have enough time to put it all down here, will flesh out later'?"
Sounds like what goes on in my head much of the day.
2) While channel-surfing, we lingered on a travel show about the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. My two-year-old son pointed at the screen, beaming, and said, "Look at all the cows!"
That's what the drunk tourists in Pamplona say, too. Seconds before getting gored.

(well, it was more like "Wry-We"). Riley is the name of our cat. Each time the the otters went by he clapped for what a good swimmer his Riley-cat happens to be. Despite telling him that the otters were indeed otters and not Riley, he still maintains that he saw Riley swimming today. :)
Toddlers are fantastic.
