Auto Math

The other day we saw a Smart car and Macie chanted, "Smart car, smart car, tell me what 8+8 is." Beck thought it was so funny, he wrote it down.

A Macie t-shirt

Macie could work for a Japanese t-shirt maker. Tonight at dinner she declared, "Farts are the apple root of dalmation sicknesses."

Later she told a joke that went like this..."Dine-a-co. DC. Exclamation point." Followed by only her laughing very loud, for a long time.

She's been big on the exclamation points lately. She also likes to say, "Certainly not."

So Jonas does look like Daryl.

Jonas' Throne

The little prince found his throne. He's obsessed and likes to rule his kingdom for long periods of time. However, we're pretty sure he doesn't know what this place is really for.

How lazy are you?

On a scale of one to ten, how hard is it to mop a floor? Probably about a two--even Jonas can do it. But someone still invented the iRobot Scooba http://store.irobot.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3334444&camp=Google, and I still want one. So I guess I am that lazy.

But it makes you wonder where we'll stop. What task is easy enough, not to be automated? On this 200th year anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, I've been reading one of his biographies. I wonder if his mom would have liked a Scooba. Probably not--they had a dirt floor.

So here's to using your own strength and ability to live life. (Maybe I should write this by hand, and mail it to everyone.)

Enjoy life with technology. And enjoy life without technology.

I wish I was Canadian

A recent conversation with Beck (who hates ham, but loves bacon.)

B: Gross ham pizza.
J: No it's Canadian Bacon.
B: What's that?
J: It's like bacon without any fat.
B: Why, because Canadians don't like fat?
J: Um, yes.
B: Ah, bacon without fat. Then I wish I was Canadian.
