There's
a restaurant just over the border in Lynchburg,
Tennessee, called
Miss Mary Bobo's.
It used to be a boarding house. Reservations must be
made and visitors are seated in one of the many fine
rooms to eat a real, home-cooked southern meal. My
friend,
Chuck Bobo,
took me here last month. It was so wonderful that I'm
bringing
my family to try it.

Thanks to a posting today
at Digg.com, I got a free 32 mb thumb drive from IBM.
Well, at least I ordered it. In the comments, someone
said businesses were always giving these away at
meetings, etc. I don't know how long this offer will
stand, but here's the link I went to -->

(read the small print in the box here).

I want them all, but after
listening to Leo's KFI radio show yesterday (well,
recorded yesterday and listened to on my iPod today),
Leo now loves Netscape version 8.02. He says the new
version is much better and it has a button so you can
switch between the Firefox engine or the IE engine. It
sounds like Firefox and IE all in one. He never liked it
before for the myriad ads embedded in it, but he likes
it now. I mostly use Firefox, but I think it might be
fun to install Netscape and see for myself.

Oh, this is fun! Got it
from Digg.com,
Click the Color.
This game flashes up a word in one of six colors. The
word itself might be in a different color than what it
says. The player has to ignore what it says and pick the
actual color. The mind wants to pick the color it says
it is, but the gamer has to think past that to pick the
actual color of the word.

We've seen all of the
Batman movies.
Batman Begins was the best of them all. The
actors were the best. Michael Caine made a PERFECT
Alfred. The music was outstanding. I loved it. (I only
wish the quality of the popcorn was as good as it was
last year -- but I've said that before. It's gotten
cheaper-tasting.)

Barnes
& Noble e-mailed a notice that they were
offering the Harry Potter book for $17.99. I figured
Amazon
would do the same thing -- and they all do -- with a
promise to arrive on the day the same book appears in
stores, for an extra fee, as does
Books-a-Million.
June 16, 2005 - Thursday Rocky is at The Infinite Cat Project I am so proud. My daughter took a picture of her cat, Rocky, who was accepted as today's entry in The Infinite Cat Project. Congrats, Jenny!
Thanks to Jennifer C. who is awaiting the results of her DNA sample, comes this link to a fascinating study from National Geographic, "The Genographic Project."
This sounds so cool and unlike many family DNA genealogy projects, women can participate in this. A person sends off for the kit, then swabs the inside of their mouth, sends it in, gets an analysis and finds out where their ancestors came from way back in time -- all of it anonymous. I am signing up right now.
