Well, maybe not a monkeys uncle, but I am now an uncle. I just found out my older sister had her baby at 5:47 today. She is named Sara Elizabeth. I don't know size or anything yet, but I should find out everything this weekend.
My parents had 4 boys before they got their little girl, now as grandparents they have 2 grand-daughters in less than 7 months.
There's a new show on ABC named American Inventor. I saw the first episode tonight, there was a lot of stuff that was ridiculous and a few that were brilliant. There is no way I would stand on the street, wrap myself up in a piece of plastic and "go number 1". On the other hand, I would absolutely love to get my hand on a solar powered cooler with built in radio. The beach is the one place you really want to keep drinks air conditioned and cool, and has the sun to pull it off. Another excellent idea was the 1 person sandbag shovel. I personally don't need one, but I can see a lot of use for it in other areas of the country.
The kid was brave, smart, and a decent salesman, but there's no way here in Texas that I would leave my dogs in the truck in summer with 110 degree Farenheit temperatures. Not even with a little fan. It may work up north where it doesn't get quite so hot. He should definitely keep at it and I'm sure he'll come up with better ideas as he gets more life experience.
I don't care about the ladys psychology degree. I would not put my daughter in a bubble cage, and really not when she's acting up and teach her that being bad and violent is a fun, rewarded activity.
I think I'll like this show more than American Idol. Speaking of,... Simon is just a producer on this one, not a judge. I think that "professional inventor" guy is trying to fill his shoes and failing. He is trying, though, which is more than I can say for the British guy whom I thought would have Simon's straight-forward comments and dry wit that I expect of British now.
