Basketball, Harper, Science, and Classical Music -- One Stop Shopping

Just a bunch of random thoughts for today.

1. I'm looking forward to the NCAA basketball tournament this year. Ohio State looks good (although I don't have them going all the way). Should be fun to watch.

2. Harper is becoming quite the backseat driver. While we're driving, she will point in a particular direction and say "Mommy, that way." She gets ticked if we don't go the direction she suggested.

3. I took this picture at work the other day. It's of a blood vessel (red) surrounded by some omentum tissue (yellow). The way that the vessel is folded in on itself is a little unusual. I think it looks cool.


4. I like classical music. This particular piece has been in my head lately. It's a tuba concerto (I know, hard to believe). It's by one of my all time favorite composers, Ralph Vaughan Williams. You can listen to the 2nd movement of the concerto here. I'll bet that you've never heard a tuba played like this before (and this recording isn't even that great - it's just the best one I could find on youtube).

Just wait until Harper points out that you have driven through a red light...

Yeah, sometimes I walk around with tuba concertos in my head too.

fricken weird... tuba concerto? come on... even if it is great music... you can never let "them" know.

This is neat...I might show Michaela the picture and let her listen to the concerto tomorrow. Christian would like it, too.
That's funny about Harper. I have an opinionated little girl, too. ha! She is very bossy for a third child. Or maybe I don't know very much about birth order. :)

I just noticed what Allison said...that's funny! And true...
