This morning I had an MRI (I am in the frequent scanner club - have 4 done, get the 5th free) and while I was laying there amongst the cornacopia of clanks, clunks and changchangchang, I started pondering the last 24 hours of newsworthy items and not-so-items. For the first 30 minutes, I wondered why there is a doctor out there who wants to test a cloth soaked in Abraham Lincoln's brain matter and blood to determine if he was dying of cancer. Really?!!? Why do we need to know this? Do we care? Will we re-write history books? If it doesn't matter to his descendants - why does it matter to us?? Don't get me wrong - I am a big fan of Lincoln's - I just think this may cross the line. Speaking of Lincoln.....when you see a penny do you pick it up??? My grandma used to always say, "Find a penny pick it up - all day long you'll have good luck." I admit - I do.
For the second 30 minutes of the MRI (this portion with contrast), I pondered Danish royalty...I know right........how many are there, where do they live and why do we call them Danes? Germans from Germany, Austrians from Austria, Fins from Finland, Swedes from Sweden - so it should be Dens from Denmark...right?!? When was it decided and by who that Dens would become Danes??? Doesn't that seem a bit odd???
Today I am having lunch with Gray - I am taking her McDonald's and then getting Mason early from school...today he gets his braces off. Finally will have pictures again with him showing his teeth.....until the next glass of whine. ~Donna~
