Of course, I don’t really have a therapist. But it’s good advice regardless. Not sure about its validity as an excuse, though.
Today in history:
- 1905 – Jazz trombonist Jack Teagarden was born.
- 1907 – Voice over actor Alan Reed was born. He was the original voice of Fred Flintstone. Yabba-dabba-doo!
- 1920 – The first commercial radio station, 8MK (WWJ) in Detroit, Michigan, began broadcasting.
- 1920 – The National Football League, (NFL), was founded in the United States.
- 1938 – Lou Gehrig hit his 23rd career grand slam. His record has yet to be broken.
Tonight it’s all about Eureka and Haven.
Reading: Finally finished up The Million-Dollar Suitcase (which is really kind of the lamest title ever) and am now reading another children’s ebook: Penny Nichols Finds a Clue by Joan Clark. Penny is a Nancy Drew-esque girl detective. In fact, Joan Clark was a pseudonym for Mildred Wirt Benson who was one of the primary writers for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. What had me giggling was how much times have changed. Penny is only 15 years old and she’s been driving for THREE YEARS in the book. But as late as the 1930s or 40s, some states just required you to pay a small fee. No age requirements. Not tests.
Really looking forward to Have tonight. Eureka, hoping it’s not as heavy an episode on the new guy as last weeks.
I am SO glad DMV rules have changed! The image of my teen behind the wheel is enough to give me a panic attack! *g*
Hope you’re having a sensational day!

I tweaked my knee this week, and driving hurts worse than anything else. I told my (11 y.o. DD) that I wished SHE could drive! LOL…
And, YAY Eureka.
