Ten-Finger Exercises

oh the places I've been...

I'll probably come back and blog some more tonight, but here are a couple of links some of you might like.

This is the place for the Weight Watchers Zero Point soup recipes:

This is a site where you can spend hours laughing at animal pictures, mainly cats, and learn a new language at the same time:

Last night I obediently sat on the sofa next to Bill, (instead of the loveseat where my laptop is plugged in,) and looked at many, many videos of Oshkosh, the international fly-in in Wisconsin put on by the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association.)

Flying to Oshkosh (and pilots mean the event, not the town) is every pilot's dream. As someone said to me, it's "the Sturgis of airplanes." The control tower there, during that week every summer, is the busiest in the nation. If you plan to go, you make reservations well in advance, and they send you a video of how to land there. Motel reservations must be made many years in advance, and most pilots camp out under the wings of their airplanes. The camaraderie is supposed to be par excellance bar none; and I have no doubt it would be, if I were nimble enough to sleep on the ground and still move the next day.

After watching the videos, I showed him a picture from the cheezburger site, and we sat and looked at pictures, literally laughing out loud, for infinity pages. At first, the strange dialect of the captions was irritating; but the more I read, the more I got into it, and pretty soon we were both talking like that! It's called lolspeak, and that's pretty funny in itself.
