The phone and Dr. Crapo

First of all, there is a law of nature that states "the phone may only ring if Becky is home alone and nursing Nate." Then I must decide whether to grab Nate like a football dangling half-hazardly and run to the phone, or let it go to the answering machine and hope they leave a message. Here's the second law of nature "the 50% of the time that Becky does run to the phone it will be the Lukemia Foundation asking for donations, and the 50% of the time that she does not run to get the phone it will be a long lost friend calling for the first time in 5 years and their call back number will sound garbled on the machine, or it will Cody calling from the airport the only chance he has to reach her all day, or some other extremely important call."

Secondly. I was watching Inside Edition this evening- I am ashamed to say. One of the hot stories is about a new "supplement" that could be the fountain of youth. The creators claim it can lengthen a human's life span by up to 50%! Wow. Yes, I saw Dr. James Crapo himself touting the praises of this new wonder-drug. Hmmmmm. The name says it all.
