7/19/07

* Nothing like staying up all night working to make you feel like you've actually done something ...and make you dead tired in the (later) morning.
* "A watched pot never boils." Don't you hate that it's true? (And did anyone else wonder what a "watch pot" was as a kid?)
* If you don't take big risks, you're less likely to be disappointed ...but what fun is that? Sometimes the unexpected happens.
* Salmon can jump something like 6 feet in the air.
* It took hundreds of computers running for 20 years, trying out 500 billion-billion (that's right, billion-billion) different possibilities, but scientists have finally done it. They've solved checkers.
* And perhaps the most important lesson for today:
"I will not mock the monsoon. I will not mock the monsoon. I will not..."
