Today, the Large Hadron Collider gathered over three hours' worth of data from stable and colliding particle beams! That's huge, if you have any interest in understanding how the universe was formed, how it works and what it's made of on a primitive level.

As a WAHM (often as a freelance journalist), I find virtually nothing that's reflective of the issues and complications of this kind of work/personal life anywhere but blogs.

I love it! In these young years, I've tried really hard to keep no out of my vocabulary - I say lots of "you can't x,y,z... but you CAN do this." The more independent he gets, though, the less I imagine my alternatives or going to be satisfactory. I'm going to start adopting yes.

Behold the politically incorrect, 1940s live action film "Hillbilly Dogs" by Tex Avery. It features an awesome dog band. I like the poodle called "Ezri" who plays the jug. And the yodeling. (Sorry that I couldn't find any other source for this that would allow me to embed it. I promise if you click over and watch, chances are very good that you won't forget this anytime soon.)
