So who all is watching the Superbowl tomorrow? I will probably watch some of it, would like for the Colts to win only because Chicago beat New Orleans and took them out. Went and saw the movie "Because I Said So" today, it has Diane Keaton in it and was really funny. It did remind me of some of my parenting (skills???) of getting to involved with my kids lives and trying to protect them from getting hurt by love or trying to pick someone else that I think is better for them then they have picked. You know some of us moms that think we always know best and the funny part is my son took Jerry and I. Well he invited me and I invited Jerry. But did I leave pledging to myself that I would not get involved with Michael's love life or Matt's or Lacy's for that matter?? No I did not. I still have this false belief that my families life would fall apart if they didn't have me around to run it for them. Anyway if you get a chance go see the movie and see if you see yourselves in it.

A True Texan

After having dug to a depth of 1000 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 1000 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 2000 meters and shortly after headlines in the UK newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 2000 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a thousand years earlier than the Scots."

One week later, Texas newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 5000 meters in West Texas, scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have therefore concluded that 5000 years ago Texas inhabitants were already using wireless technology."

Hope you enjoyed it.
