We're on a little island that's actually out in the Sound. The tide was so low that we parked O's bike behind a rock and walked out on a sandbar to the island. TONS of shells.

Beach Combin'
Each weekend we try to think of clever ways to get O out of the house. I thought this one -- West Haven beach walk/bike ride in 15-degree wind chill -- was doomed from the start but check it out:

Sports Update
The Saints Go Marching in to Miami -- I made that up. I wanted to post it last night but knew no one would believe I could come up with that just hours after the game.
Yale Women's field hockey practice started today around one; I could see them out the office window. Other things I could see out the window: horizontal driving rain and wind gusts up to 55 mph. That's the love of the game, Brett Favre, not 17 million dollars just to unretire (again), torture the entire state of Wisconsin for 9 months and then throw the worst across-the-body-when-you-should've-scrambled pass of your INT-riddled career, thereby tormenting the entire state of Minnesota for the next 9 months. I know...ten AP fumbles didn't help the cause. Please, somebody, explain fumbling. The dude looks like he could crush my skull with his biceps and yet the ball keeps popping out. Maybe that's it: holding the ball too tightly?? I think Aikman said he usually only fumbles when he's fighting for extra yards. Hmmmm, yeah, it would be weird if he fumbled in open space or just after getting the hand-off. Oh, wait, he did that too.

Newton, KS and Brothers on the Half Shell
On our cross-country bike ride, Jaewon and I decided that Newton, KS was the Best Town in America (based mostly on how much free food they gave us). This week, one of Julie's book club members said she was from Kansas. "Which town?" I asked, but I could already sense it -- Newton. I woke up this morning to an NPR story about a lost MLK speech that was recovered by a student audiotape recording in 1960 at small Bethel College in ... Newton, KS.

I type a question stem into Google and then take the top 5 or so completions of the stem. These completions I think are the most frequently searched questions that start with the stem. Anyway, you try to answer the questions (actual answers in the comments below).
