So... if you or anyone you know is looking to join my gym... this weekend is a really good one to do it.
The entire sales staff was fired today.
I'm running the scene for the next few days. Boss lady returns Tuesday.

The house I grew up in is back on the market again!
My parents sold the house to a couple of flippers, who came in and basically gutted the place and sold it a year or so later. There's a couple of photos on the website that show some of the changes, and some of it is completely unrecognizable to me. There's a photo of what I guess is the master bathroom which has two sinks, but hell if I know how they did it -- there was absolutely no room for that in the house I know! I like what they did with the kitchen and the new porch attached to the back is quite lovely, but my father's gorgeous gardens are gone. A wall has been built between the dining room and the sitting room, which makes both rooms far too small. I'm dying to know what they did with the basement, which was for most of my adolescence my domain, but there are no pictures. I may have to sneak down one of these weekends if there's an open house.
The Home I Don't Know Anymore

A special call out to my sister, who got harvested of her gall bladder this weekend. Get better quick!

got a few minutes?
In 2003, Matt Harding decided he wasn't enjoying what he was doing anymore, so he quit his job and started traveling the world. He took his digital camera with him and grabbed random strangers on the street to video tape him in the various locales he visited. But after a while, he felt like just video of him standing there waving at the camera wasn't very interesting, so he made up a little dance instead. When he got home, he edited it into a video, and what resulted is the first true YouTube phenomenon. After the first video, Matt was offered corporate sponsorship from Stride Gum, of all people, to make a second. The second remains one of the most watched videos in YouTube history, logging over nine million views. The third was released this morning, and in the course of less than 24 hours (as of this writing) it has already logged 302,000 views.
It is perhaps one of the simplest, most brilliant and inspiring things you may ever see, and it inexplicably makes me cry every time I see it.
Where The Hell Is Matt?!?
