If I start even looking at a gadget rack I always see something I MUST have! One of the best kitchen gadgets is a plain old pair of scissors!
Two of the most over-rated gadgets I never fell for: rice maker and bread machine. Did you know you can bake rice in the oven? Comes out perfect--whaddya need a machine for?
Bread machine---the no-knead recipie from NYTimes does just fine.
Brackets? I thought you were going to fix bookshelves! You can see how "out of it" I am!
Having never been associated with winning teams--it makes you humble and forgetful of all that. I usually associate March Madness with drunk St. Patrick's Day guys--the bus was so full of them, I kinda wished they had gotten behind their wheels and killed each other! They don't know any of the words to the songs they brayed and one guy pucked out the bus window and it came back in and got on an old Chinese lady who almost de-capitated the poor dude. They had to hold all 85 pounds of her back. The bus driver yelled that everyone had to sit down and shut up! We did.

Can you change your DNA midstream and become a football fan?
The way you describe football makes it sound like a lot of family fun--the simple pleasure of sharing three hours.
Bravo for anything that engenders family fun!

And I always thought Arna was a nice sweet kid....!
I think that creative kids are a lot more trouble to raise, based on what I have seen.
Is that why he started college early? To escape his tormenters?
