Bag of Randomness

  • My driver’s license expires tomorrow, and in the past, I would get some sort of notification in the mail, but not this time.  I checked into it, and thankfully I can renew it online.
  • DaughterGeeding starts preschool next week and this morning we are going to Meet the Teacher.
  • I didn’t know that broccoli was a man-made plant, it was developed from kale.  The florets are slightly more nutrient than the stem.
  • When I thought I would never hear when I first met WifeGeeding, “Honey, come in here, you have to check out the color of this poop.”  This was in reference to what came out of BoyGeeding in case you were wondering.
  • I was somewhat chastised by someone because I didn’t know the birthstones of my children.  Heck, I don’t even know my birthstone.
  • I only heard my parents refer to each other as “Honey”.
  • I had dinner with a friend in an Asian neighborhood, and after dinner I walked inside an Asian supermarket.  As a child, I use to accompany my mother about once a month to the few that were in the Metroplex at the time and hated it.  But when I walked into the one yesterday, nothing but good memories hit me, most triggered by certain unique scents.  But it’s also interesting seeing how the meat and seafood are displayed compared to your everyday supermarket and of course seeing packaging with a different language. Over all, this little field trip of mine was heartwarming.
  • One of the first “tests” I had for WifeGeeding was taking her into one of those Asian supermarkets to gauge her reaction as I picked up something for my mother.  I was quite proud of her reaction, I knew some girls that would have freaked out or felt uncomfortable being immersed in another culture.
  • As a half-Asian, I get this a lot.  I’ve also been told that I look full white, full Hispanic, full Asian, or Hawaiian.

Leukemia suffering child sings “God Bless America”

Darla Holloway, a 4-year-old suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, delivered a stirring rendition of “God Bless America” during the seventh-inning stretch Tuesday night at Fenway Park. Darla, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments, said on WEEI’s Mut & Merloni that she’s been practicing every day for her big night, which also included being part of the Jimmy Fund chorus that sang the National Anthem.
