My husband and I have those moments all the time, with the exact same joke. Thanks for sharing!

Everytime you post a blog entry in which that sweater comes up, I almost spew milk out my nose. Today, however, I was lucky enough to not be drinking milk. :) Off topic, Wil, but the Wiki-How of the day on my Google homepage was how to make a Starship Enterprise from a floppy disk. I've got a project, then, for tonight, and wanted to share: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Starship-Enterprise-Out-of-a-Floppy-Disk I didn't know if you'd mind me adding the html tags, so I didn't, just to be safe.

Is it sad that as soon as I saw the intro page, I started singing the song? How on earth did I remember that? I must've been 5 or 6, at the oldest!

Wil, you're totally and completely right. Some may be upset that you're throwing politics into your blog. To that, my response is that it's your blog. You should write about whatever inspires you. I have tried for the 12 years I've been eligible to vote that party-affiliation shouldn't matter, that the issues are what should be examined and researched carefully. Unfortunately, I haven't found but one Republican candidate in any race I've ever voted for that I could agree with. It reminds me of the despair.com poster, "Power." Unfortunately, in this case, power corrupts absolutely.

Well put, Wil. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. I loved reading this quick synopsis of your posts this year, all the while watching you on VH1's "I Love the 80s 3D." As I type, you have just talked about Mr. Wizard and needing decaliters of oil. :) It's going to be a great New Year's Eve! Happy 2007 to you and to your family.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets a case of the heebie-jeebies listening to these. Still, the idea is fascinating. I msut admit, though, that there are things going on in the world that I don't want to know anything about, and that I want no part of.

My evil villain was Dr. Doom, who, I might add, is pretty gross-looking. Superhero? Got exactly what I thought I would: 85% Superman 83% Superwoman 80% Spiderman I'm happy that I was only 35% Catwoman. Don't like being likened as a girly-girl. I wonder if one of these quizzes exists for "What Famous Geek Are You?" If not, someone should invent one.

Wil, My cat, Adagio, does the same kind of stuff. My only thing is that I had him for about 3 years before my hubby and I got married. We were very close when I was single, and consequently, he has a terrible jealous streak. If my husband even talks to me, Adagio attacks him. The nice thing about Adagio being so protective is that when my hubby has to work nights, Adagio curls up by my feet in the bed, and meows and wakes me up if ANYTHING moves outside our house. Unfortunately, he also wakes me up by climbing up onto the pillow above my head, and arranging my hair into a nest. A few times I've woken-up to him licking/grooming my hair as he was laying on it. It's nice to be loved, but...*sigh*

Troi says, "I'm sensing a lot of boners, Commander." LOL!! I'm laughing my ass off at that one. I'm trying to picture it/hear it in her slightly-accented voice! HAHAHA!!! Thanks, Wil!

Lee, I just about spat ice cream onto my new LCD monitor. That shirt is awesome! :D So is the "Music + Science = Sexy" one. I should bust that one out at school!

I teach remedial math as well as band, so I guess I get to wear some kind of supreme nerd shirt. That, and the fact that I met my hubby on the math/science team in HS. :) That having been said, I totally geeked-out on this particular blog entry. Now I must pull out my HP-48GX calculator that I got for my 18th birthday (Thanks, Mom and Dad!), and figure out the distance I've travelled on this planet. Thanks for the great idea!

I know exactly what you mean, Wil. Talking with one of my closest friends from college this past weekend, we are amazed at how many things we've forgotten in the 6 years since graduation. Simple and fun things, like boisterously singing "Sexual Healing" with the radio while seated at the local IHOP at 3 a.m., or the random stuff we did that first summer session when we became friends. They're moments that meant so much then, and still do, if we could only remember them. Or, holding my cat in the palm of my hand and washing his eyes so carefully when he was one day old, his mother having just passed away. I can't even remember what it felt like to hold his entire little body in one hand back then, but I wish I could feel that one more time. I hope there are some posts to follow on some of those tiny, super-important things you remember.
