Dave Update: He told me a funny story tonight. He was listening to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" on NPR today while driving and heard a story about a 2nd grade class that put a unique twist on show 'n tell. They would keep the show item a secret and the student would have to give clues while the rest of the class guessed. They wouldn't reveal the item until someone guessed correctly or the students ran out of guesses. So one little boy gets up in front of the class and says "I have something that blows people up". This made the teacher a little nervous so she asked to see what was in the bag at which point the teacher cleared out the classroom and then the whole school was evacuated. What was in the bag? A grenade! It obviously wasn't live but still...who gives their kid a grenade to take to school...in 2nd grade???

I thought Friday's snow was beautiful and was disappointed it didn't stick around.
Dan and I love listening to "Wait, Wait" on NPR. We couldn't believe the grenade story yesterday - WTF?
