Um...what is that?

So the FP Gal is bringing good foods into the house. Something about eating well for the baby or something. At least I think that's the reason for the increase in grapes. For all I know she just really likes them. Even I do in small quantities.
And you know who else likes them? Our intrepid kitten, Ozzie. For the past few days we've noticed fewer grapes on the bunch and more of them in random places around the house. Nothing like a lone, very bruised grape on the living room floor to make a place looked lived in. Believe me. At least he hasn't brought any upstairs yet.
So why do I mention this? When I went to put on my tennis shoes tonight there was a little gift inside, down by the toe. One last grape. Roxy used to do this all the time with cat toys. But never with fruit!
Lucky for him, cuteness goes a long way.

Grapes are poisonous to dogs, I am not sure about cats. You will be ok Peder, I started bringing health food in the house last spring and Chad is still alive.

She also brought an entire lasagna home on Monday. She's eaten maybe two pieces of it. I'll get by somehow.

Hans is deathly afraid of fruits and vegetables, too (with the exception of french fries and tomato paste). I just don't get it. Surely Donna fed you fruits and vegetables growing up? I can't believe that she didn't. I didn't know that grapes were poisonous to dogs. Oops. Freddie used to play with them all the time. By the time I would find them, they'd pretty much be grapes!

Raisins, I mean. Duh. Raisins.

We didn't learn about fruits and vegetables until third grade. A sad story, I know. I was almost an adult before I found out about green peppers.

I will admit to never bringing green peppers or celery into our home, but I did provide fruit - such as bananas, strawberries, raspberries, apples, blueberry pie filling (and blueberry buckle - which I think Hans and Peder still like), and pineapple, watermellon and cantalope. I also fixed squash, corn, peas, green beans, baked beans, cole slaw, and maybe other vegetables. It's not my fault you clampped your jaw shut.

2024 Olympics?

Next week the US Olympic Committee will decide if they'll bid on the 2024 Olympics (I'm betting they will) and may decide on which city they'll put forth to host.  There are four cities on the host list: Boston Los Angeles San Francisco Washington DC I've long believed that if the US bids on 2024, they will win.  The US hasn't hosted an Olympics since Salt Lake City in 2002 and no summer games since Atlanta in 1996.  Given the importance that the US has, particularly in funding, a 28 year gap is a huge one. So who gets the nod?  I have absolutely no insider knowledge but I'd like to make some guesses.  Pure speculation to follow. San Francisco is an interesting choice.  The Bay Area is certainly beautiful.  I'm guessing (I haven't checked into it) that there are enough venues in NoCal to satisfy the sporting requirements.  Between the professional teams (six?) and the number of big time colleges, there must be.  Throw in the big mo...

Box Elder Bugs

Yesterday morning's breakfast started badly. I'd split my bagel in half and was ready to toast it when I noticed a BOX ELDER BUG sitting on the toaster. The FP Gal tried to help remove him but it looked like he went into one of the slots. Not cool. She then shook out the toaster over the garbarge while I helpfully supervised from the other side of the kitchen. After that we couldn't see it in the toaster. So...we did a test run to smoke it out. Nothing. After careful inspection I finally toasted my bagel. Carefully checked it for embedded insect. Found it clean and ate it. Whew! This morning I sliced my bagel. And found another Box Elder bug on the toaster. The FP Gal was still asleep so I had to take care of it myself. Kleenex over mouth, eyes barely open and a quick paper towel latter it was gone. Seriously, if I find another one tomorrow we have to sell the house.

Airport Code Game

As you doubtlessly know, airports are known by a unique three letter code. Traditional initials also have three letters. I propose a game. Go here , to an airport code website and enter your initials. Then come back and leave a comment regarding which city you are connected to. The person with the largest city wins! I'll start (and create examples). PGD (me) - Punta Gorda, FL (per Wikipedia the population is 16,762) ARD (Relia) - Alor Island, Indonesia (Wikipedia puts the population at 168,000) FPG (FP Gal) - no known airport (Wikipedia thinks that lots of people don't live at airports but for the purpose of this game she gets a score of 0) So go ahead and give it a try. Leave your answers in the comments. Wikipedia look up available upon request. I honestly have no idea who will win this but I'm curious.
