-So as I was greeted with a crappy, cold, rainy day I turned on the local weather channel just to check when I might next see the sun. After all, it's never too early to start planning for the weekend (short answer on the sun: maybe Saturday). Upon turning on the channel I was greeted with the smooth sounds of jazz. It made me curious as to who picks the music for the weather channel. It's not like elevator music, cause that's jazz versions of songs that I can at least recognize. Instead this is just saxophone-heavy noise... honestly, it sounds like what you would hear on Cinemax at 2 am. If anyone walked by my door they would think I was watching porn at 10 am. Weather is not meant to be sexy.
-The other day I was checking out my favorite Lithuanian newspaper (even if you can't read Lithuanian, just go to look at the pictures like I do - even though I have no idea what's going on in that second picture). It appears that baby racing is the new craze sweeping that nation. Now, I appreciate the technique that the winners used, as my guess is junior isn't usually allowed to touch laptops and showing a baby something they aren't supposed to touch is the quickest way to get them to come towards you. I just hope that his hair hasn't naturally grown in yet and they didn't shave his eyebrows for the sake of cutting down on wind-resistance.
If Lithuanians do have a natural talent for baby racing, it clearly becomes diluted the less Lithuanian heritage the child has. When Addison and Abigail were entered into a race at a baby expo a couple years ago, Addison didn't even move (she's about 25% Litski) and Abigail didn't make it out of the quarterfinals (slightly higher Lithuanian percentage). The question is what happens with Charlotte once she starts crawling, because she seems like she really wants to get going. Also, she'll take some people out along the way, because as Marshall pointed out about the Brenizers, "We may not be the fastest, but when someone runs into one of us, they'll be the ones going down."
