Reading is fundamental.

A couple of articles that ran over the last week that are well worth checking out.

1. My sister forwarded this one from USA Today. It's about this whole "Slacker Mom" movement that I seemingly am writing about. I resent being labeled a slacker, however. I work very hard to be mediocre.

2. An important article from The New York Times on some groundbreaking research being done on the "5 second rule." I wish I had read this a few days ago because my theory is that this was the cause of the Captain's "episode" in the car the other day.

Enjoy.
