The Art of Eating . . . In Space

Sometimes when I watch my daughter Trinity eat stuff, I can't stand it. She drops things, smears them on herself, puts her fingers in her food. I can feel my blood pressure rising the longer I watch! But compared to what astronauts have to go through, I guess I can learn to handle it. At least she's not eating in zero gravity. Check out this video about what it's like to eat in space. If you want more info about the evolution of eating in space, check out this article from Neatorama. Interesting stuff! I'm scared to ask what going to the bathroom in space looks like . . .

Open House Work Day

Well, we are selling our old house, and so we've spent the past week or two madly doing repairs and painting. Thanks to Lee, Karen, Brian, Tracy, and everyone else who has assisted us - you people rock! Tomorrow though is the big day, the last day before our first open house. We still have a ton of things to do: mostly painting and installing some stick down tiles - it looks pretty daunting. If you like painting (indoor and outdoor), feel free to give me a call on my cell at 612-2588 and we'll find something for you to do. And we'll feed you as well!

I've put an ad for our house on Kijiji, saying that there is an open house this Sunday. My stats on Kijiji show that almost 1200 people have clicked on the ad, so hopefully we will get a few people out and maybe even an offer or two! I have sold and rented properties through Kijiji but I have never tried an open house with a private sale before. We are praying for a good response.

Oh, and if you know us, you should check out my wife's blog here.
