We did shopping for their little sister's birthday and filled out Valentines, then met Matthew for dinner since he worked late. It was a good day.
I have random thoughts which irritate my family.
I asked Matthew how many times he thought a TV show was watched from start to finish before being OK-ed, and by whom?
Last year I was so fixated on dental anthropology I bought a textbook, read about 16 years of journals, and also emailed back and forth with the author of the book and professor at Cambridge. fun.
This week I've also wondered how many 'messages in a bottle' are floating around out there still, because long ago it would be a sight to find a bottle.. whereas today it would be considered rubbish and thrown out without a second thought.
This morning I started thinking how historically people had to deal with the lack of potable water. Sure, they had to boil it to stave off disease, but really they didn't have access like today. So, it is a fact that most people drank wine and beer,partly because it was sterile. So, I started thinking how throughout history there must have been a lot of people born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Don't you think?
Also, having to explain the word potable to my Mom was fun.
