Much thanks to Stephanie for stepping in last week while I was recovering from having my wisdom teeth yanked. Our third set of molars, nicknamed “wisdom teeth” since they generally surface between ages 17-25, were useful to our Stone Age ancestors who had wider jaws, coarser diets and rougher lives . These teeth helped them chew easier and helped ease the loss of other teeth during the course of their lives.

Teacher appreciation week was technically last week, but it’s never too late to say “thank you !” In fact, I just sent an e-mail to my kids’ teachers just to say thanks and that we appreciate their hard work.

I’ve often said that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without cable television. I felt bad for all the kids without Nickelodeon who didn’t get to watch The World of David the Gnome (the guy got to ride around on a fox named Swift! How cool is that?), or get so into episodes of Double Dare that they’d start running around the house with their sister, making up “physical challenges” for one another.
