Made Lemon Mousse today. Good, but not precisely what I wanted. But worth making again I think. Next recipe to try will probably be the summer lemon cheesecake.
Also…

The Indiana House voted late Thursday to approve a bill mandating the historic (Daylight Savings) time change.
I hate Daylight Savings time. Hate it, hate it, hate it.
Indiana is moving in the wrong direction, they should be pushing the rest of is to get rod of daylight savings time, not joining the crowd!
Grrr….
Paper: Done.
Presentation: Done.
Only thing left is my final. Next Friday. At 3:00. So I have it hanging over my head ALL WEEK.
This is absolutely fascinating–you can look at names and track their popularity through time. My name went as high as 4 in the 1970s (surprise?) but has declined since then. I found out that my great-grandfather’s name was quite popular at the turn of the last century, and then dropped off the map.
I hate waiting and doing things at the last minute. Hate it. If it’s a project I want it finished weeks in advanced.
It’s even worse when the last minute rush isn’t my fault. Then I’m irritated, but have to pretend not to be, just to be polite.
Happy TV Turnoff Week!
I’d have mentioned it earlier, except that since we don’t watch TV, I hadn’t been paying attention. I do have to admit, however, that this year we have been watching Star Trek on DVD. So I’m not TV free, although we are free of having to turn on the TV at a [...]
That Susan did, in fact, come to Morgantown.
Plus, a road sign outside Pittsburgh warning of the Moon Beaver. Coming the other way it tells of the Airport Beaver.
And yes, that is, in fact, snow in a picture that was taken the 24th of April.
“What is officially deemed overweight these days is actually the optimal weight.”
Okay, it’s just a single study, but still it’s nice to see some focus on weight and health that doesn’t stop at “overweight is bad.”
(B)eing very thin, even though the thinness was longstanding and unlikely to stem from disease, caused a slight increase in [...]
We saw Varekai last night with my parents and Susan and Erin and her friend Ivy.
I wanna go back and see it again! I wanna go to Las Vegas and see the Cirque shows there! I want MORE!
A company in South Africa has found a way to harness youthful energy in solving the perennial problem of water supply in rural villages.
It uses a playground roundabout to power a borehole pump.
What a fantastic idea–take a children’s toy and apply it to provide for the community.
The website, Roundabout Outdoor has a small [...]
Elephants, Yeah!
To understand why I like this so much, you have to understand that growing up we received gifts from the Birthday Elephant, the Christmas Elephant, the Easter Elephant, the Valentine’s Day Elephant…

A visit with Susan. Vacation Time. Cirque du Soleil.
Blogging will be erratic for the remainder of the week.
For the curious, the BBC has a nice article on the history of papal conclaves.
I kinda like the bread and water rations idea.
ADDENDUM the First:
I take it back. Give them yummy food and comfy chairs and maybe they’d have thought about things a bit longer.
So the big news today is that the GOP is going to try and “bully” Senator Byrd out of his seat in the next election.
And then there’s the Ku Klux Klan. Critics rarely pass on a chance to recall Byrd’s 1940s ties to the hate group. One columnist recently referred to him as ”the Imperial [...]

I love folk tales and fairy tales, and I love the idea of stories that have been told and retold, and then finally captured on paper. The problem of course, is finding an author who is good at translating something that from an [...]
How to destroy the Earth
Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
You’ve seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You’ve heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into [...]
My Bleeding Hearts are blooming.
I moved them last year, but it didn’t seem to hurt them at all.
The ultra geeky: Binary translator. I may soon need this to talk to my husband.
I’ve been saying for years that Microsoft Grammar check is pretty worthless.
