A goal achieved, a dream realized. And facts.

Last night we went to Panera and got some of that soup I was just talking about. It's amazing how knowing what you want and then going out and getting it can really make you feel pretty good about the world.

After dinner Betsy took Jack to buy some shoes and I took Macy to a bookstore where I bought yet another needless information book. I love trivia. Here are a few tasty bits:

Bruce Willis's real name is Walter.
Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button (not so sure about the authenticity of this one, but it sounds good).
The average woman consumes six-and-a-half pounds of lipstick in her lifetime.
The bones of the garfish are green.
Diet Pepsi wasn't invented until 1983.
The Sahara Desert covers nearly 5.6 million square miles. The next largest desert, the Arabian Desert, covers about 500,000 square miles.
The largest snowflakes on record were somewhere in the area of eighteen inches in diameter.

No one needs to know these things.
