Discovery is more than the name of a space shuttle.

After my vacation I took it easy this week. However, I don't want my loyal readers to think that I just lounged around.

In fact, I discovered a few things ...

I discovered the simple joys of time spent under the piano bench.

I discovered stairs.

I discovered that the Pizza Hut lunch buffet is heavy on the carbs.

I discovered that cookie dough Blizzards at Dairy Queen kick ass.

I also discovered that Grandma Maggy is a popular musican who draws a big audience at the Iowa State Fair.

Finally, I discovered that Hawaiian shirts make me very, very happy.
