For Tuesday

/

I'll be gone tomorrow (Tuesday) but here's a little something to keep you occupied.  No fair reading ahead! Save it for Tuesday.

You will need pen and paper for this. Ready? Here goes:  There have been 43 U.S. Presidents. How many of them can you name?

I scored an embarrassing 50%. Even more embarrassing when I went back and read the list and began to hit myself in the head going, "Duh! Duh!"  I left out so many obvious ones it's humiliating. I just drew a blank.

 So give it a try and let me know how you do.I'll even give you a freebie. Millard Fillmore, President from 1850-53. I feel remiss in my education as I am quite certain a Millard Fillmore was never mentioned anywhere in a history lesson.  So, only 42 to go. You can check your answers here when you're ready.  Good luck.

The Cute Things Kids Say

/

Blair and I attended a Wake Forest basketball game last night.  As we're walking past the concession stands, I notice a little boy, blond-haired, about 5 years old, holding on to this huge vanilla ice-cream cone that's almost as big as he is.

He takes a lick and his Dad looks down and says, "Is it good?"

"Yeah!" the little boy enthused.  He took another lick. "Tastes like milk."

I laughed all the way to our seats.
