Ok, I have to lay off the bad words. My 7 year old is imitating me.
Just read that now they think the chemical in hot dogs that makes them so bad for you (sodium nitrite), may actually be really good for people in oxygen-deprived situations, like sickle-cell or after a stroke. Something about the nitrite makes the blood more oxygen saturated. Neat.
And now coffee is supposed to be good for you too. How great is that? It's supposed to have like 4x the antioxidants found in green tea or dried beans, which if you keep track of stuff like that, were like the top antioxidant-rich foods before coffee was tested. Of course, in a short while, they will be found to be really bad for you in some way or another, but it's interesting to see how medical research keeps uncovering new information about all the stuff in our world.

I find it amazing how much of a stinker a 2 year old can be. I've forgotten since the last one. This little guy is crazy. Drawing all over himself and the house with markers as soon as his brother abandons one; jumping from the back of the couch onto his sister's head while she's reading; deliberately trying to harass his brother. I mean, this little guy can't really talk yet, but man is he ever a character. And what makes it even worse is that he's just about the cutest little guy you could ever see. Almost as cute as the baby on the Quizno's commercials. I wonder what it's going to be like when he gets a little older and Really figures out what buttons to push to get people mad at him. Seems to me that he doesn't care even now, and I could imagine it's only going to get worse.
