Brand new site that asks for and shares tricks of the trade. Only two posts so far but I’ve discovered something already like this one for singing in a choir:

>“If you’re singing in a mid-sized choir and you suddenly forget the lyrics, just mouth the word “watermelon” over and over, in time with the music, until you remember them again. The audience won’t be able to tell the difference.”


I’m bookmarking this one.

Thanks for asking. We’re on vacation for a week!

Yard work will keep me busy for the rest of the day.

Golf fans are anticipating the Ryder Cup that starts in less than 2 weeks. Team golf played in different formats makes for great viewing pitting the best golfers in the US against an elite European team.

Earth Today shows a number of counters including populaation, vehicle production, movie visitors and other interesting stats. Not sure how accurate they are but it’s fascinating watching the numbers increase.

While writing this, over 87 million babies have been born this year while 35 million people have died. The term “overpopulation” comes to mind. Bicycle production is running almost 3 times auto production. That should be good for the environment.

I’ll get back to bashing Dubya and the Republicans in a minute but I saw this picture on John Dvorak’s excellent blog and it touched me. Sure it was probably a manufactured photo-op but it’s still nice to see the in-laws showing some love.
