Morning, Box. Didn't hit the sack until 3:45 this morning, and I'm up now with another 1430-0100ish night ahead of me. 250pp wedding tonight, 200pp wedding tomorrow. Great for the debt, bad for the sleep. In a truly shocking twist, my employer extends the paid holiday concept to its hospitality division and I am on a paid day off Monday.

Just read a news blurb about the finals of the National Geographic Bee which were apparently held the other day. The winning question was the identification of Cap-Haitien as the largest city in northern Haiti; I would NOT have known that. :confused:

I imagine we MUST have some people in here who did this in middle school, yes?

(I remember it being nerve-wracking but rather fun - went to the OH state competition 2 years but never made the finals. Scored a nice atlas, a couple of savings bonds and other random prizes...)

And, sadly, it is a STAGGERINGLY unbalanced activity in terms of gender lines - which is even more perplexing considering that the Scripps-Howard Spelling Bee, which is a similar type of thing (head-to-head competition, memorization, etc.), has been pretty close to even over the years. I would have thought that if one had to stereotype, that girls of that age are better at highly-disciplined-book-learning, no?

Oh I'm feeling the 4 hours of bending over for sure right now:( Had to take a break and let it dry with showers possible later on. I get round two tomorrow. I did notice body-building son has faired well in the back department after his last trip to a new gym.:eek:

I took yesterday as a rest day given all the other cardio activities I've added recently.

Off to the supermarket since the food department here is esentially non-existant.

No surprise since your son is likely efficient at 'eating you out of house & home!' LOL!;)
