Wednesday, Hump Day, The gods of leisure have smiled on us.

We, here at Life Explained, are always looking for a way to celebrate Wednesday. And, we have had some doozies. Like that time we accidentally reanimated Vlad the Impaler from a small sample of DNA found in an ancient serving bowl.

We were trying to make the perfect spinach dip, and our greens were a little to "green." It seemed like sending it through the wormhole we have harnessed to generate the power needed for the sound system would be a perfect way to ripen them. Nobody wanted to use a new bowl. This was the first time anybody had thought of using time travel to make an appetizer, and we had this bowl from something we have no knowledge of and if we did have any knowledge of we would not be allowed to discuss.

It worked perfectly too but when the Dracul came out carrying our perfectly ripened spinach we got a little worried.Though, the spinach was perfect, and the dip was extraordinary. People still talk about that dip, and tear up a little bit.


That might have been a real problem had we not been having such a keen party. Turns out Vlad loves a good party, and was leading the conga line. Man, he was really busting a move, too until Security could apprehend and unanimate him.  Thank goodness our security forces don't join the party, most times we think they are kind of wet blankets, walking around, following rules, and just being armed, pushy people in general. Sometimes we are grateful for their obsessive attention to regulation.

Anyway, today, we are sending Bob, from Legal, back to the last ice age to get some really fresh ice, lots of it! We have rum punch, Kentucky Bourbon (if it isn't from Kentucky it's just whiskey) and lots of beer. There might even be a live band, depending on how much the lab guys have to drink.It will be the best party ever. You have to love Wednesday. What could possibly go wrong?

It is too wonderful to be Wednesday (it is Wednesday, isn't it?)

It seems like spring.  A cold, bleak, snowy winter is finally giving up, and the warmth is reinvigorating my zeal for working out.  Soon, I will be able to break out the kick scooter and cruise during my lunch break, go for bicycle rides in the evening.  Taking advantage of Mother Nature's fitness facility.  I still plan on using the gym at least three times a week, but fresh air, and new places are important.

Today is a gym day, and I am honestly looking forward to going.  I found a new feature from Apple (well, it is not a new feature, but, I just found it, iTunes U).  I recommend the Yale Lecture Series.  Right now I am listening to Ancient Greek History by Donald Kagan and it is fantastic.  Much more thorough, and in depth than I need, but still fantastic.  And the guy is entertaining, and pretty funny, as well.  You should check it out.

So it has been a good week.  When you add in the wild new app I got called Cam Animate  which is a lot of fun (the only problem I have found with this app is when I try to take advantage of the .99 cent upgrade it won't connect to the App Store, so if anybody knows someone at Half Click Studios, tell them I need their help).  Life is pretty good this week, and it is still two and a half days until the weekend.

So here is a panoramic picture I took with my phone as while on my lunch time walk.  The first one I have ever taken,


And here is a video from my new app.


Man, life is good.
