Blogging

A friend of mine says there is a correlation between blogging and unemployment… I bet there is also one between blogging and non-parenthood. When the girls are with us, the blog gets very little additions, my email backs up, etc. So don’t expect much updates till Tuesday afternoon. :)

E != mc squard?

You must kill the frog to save it…

“It’s not against the law to catch the bullfrogs that compete in the contest — but it’s illegal to put them back, said Ed Pert, the California Department of Fish and Game’s fisheries programs chief. Technically, violators could face a $5,000 fine and a year in jail.
