Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Rob had three job interviews on Friday. One was a phone interview for the job in Baltimore. It was his first interview with them, so we won’t know anything until they finish their first round of applicants. Another was a follow-up phone interview for the job in St. Louis. No official offer has been made, but he’s been told the job is his if he wants it. The people in that group have already been talking about when he joins them, not if he joins.
The third job is in Michigan. Like Missouri, a formal offer hasn’t been made, but an offer letter has been drafted. We expect the offer to be made this week. Unless one of the out-of-state jobs makes Rob an offer that’s too good to refuse, it looks like we get to stay in Michigan. And that thought makes me very happy.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
