My son Daniel skied (skiied? whatever)a couple of miles earlier this week (cross-country). This is a major achievement for someone with balance and coordination problems who couldn't even stand up on skis a few years ago.

My daughter (who wishes to be known as Wharf Rat) will probably graduate from high school without having a nervous breakdown.

We have two rats, Olivia and Bianca. They like to eat spaghetti (we give them each an end of the same piece!) and dive down the neck of your shirt.
