Anyone there?

Saw it was over two months since the last post. Just thought I would see how long it takes for someone to comment.

The Platypus


The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.

Royals

Who would have guessed in a week stretch the Royals would win three extra inning games with game winning hits by Yuni, Kendall and Willie. Crazy.

Rivals

How does one make the step from rival to arch rival? Also, after a Google search, it remains unclear whether it is one word or two.

Fun Facts: Wrigley Field

The park was built in six weeks in 1914 at a cost of about $250,000 ($5.3 million in 2008 dollars) by the Chicago lunchroom magnate Charles Weeghman, who owned the Federal League Whales. (The club signed a 55-year lease to use the park for approximately $18,000 per year.) It was designed by the architect Zachary Taylor Davis (who four years earlier had designed Comiskey Park for the Chicago White Sox), incorporating the new "fireproof" building codes recently enacted by the city.[3] According to some sources, when it opened for the 1914 Federal League season, Weeghman Park had a seating capacity of 14,000. According to another source, the original seating capacity was 20,000.

So the gym shorts I gave Ryan were apparently too long so he had to role them up at the waist like a female soccer player. Just thought everyone would like to know.

The Iowa Test

Has anyone ever been to Iowa? When I think of education and knowledge, Iowa is the second last thing I think of. The University of Missouri is the first.
So this blog is off to a horrible start.
