Wandering Minds Want to Know...

How do Chinese restaurants get their hot tea so damn hot? Not complaining. I love it. I just wish someone would clue me in so I could duplicate it. Maybe it's just an illusion.

How can people write blogs about one particular topic? Like knitting, for instance. Do you know how many blogs there are on knitting? Loads of 'em. I knit, but really can't find much to write about beyond my current favorite method for casting on.

Is there such a thing as a "Granny Blog?" I'm beyond Mommy Blogging, although it would take a mere hint of interest for me to carry on about my grown kid. It's conceivable I could do a real humdinger of a Granny Blog though. If she were pregnant. Which she's not. That's really a good thing, even if it does deprive me of a golden opportunity.

Do you ever look at someone making an ass of themselves in public and say to yourself, "I'll bet HER mother is proud." Well, you know what? Sometimes they are! I know the mom of a demonstrator at yesterday's Inaugural Parade. The kid got bonked on the head. And maced. She's proud as punch. I asked her, "What, exactly, is LuLu protesting?" "Oh, I don't know. Something or other. Things in general, I think. I got it on tape!"

Is this a great country, or what?
