Many, many thanks to Jane Hersey of the Feingold Association (and her husband Harry) who came to D.C. today to speak about the harmful effects of additives in food. She shared how minor substitutions in our diet can help eliminate or alleviate a whole host of problems. A video of her talk will be posted on YouTube. For more information, visit Feingold.org (or ADHDDiet.org).

Left side vs. Right side…simple substitutions below. (Examples of additive-free foods are on the right.)

Thank you Jimmy and Thomas (and of course my hero, John) for all of your help with this project!

This is a picture of the Newseum’s exhibit of photographer Bill Biggart’s equipment and personal belongings. It was heart-wrenching to see these displayed alongside his last pictures and a video of his heroic wife. Mr. Biggart lost his life on September 11th; his story is incredible…click here to read more. The exhibit was stunningly moving.

The Newseum is spectacular. Jenny was right–I was awed. I think I may join so I can go back again and again–because there was not enough time to see all I wanted to see. And, I didn’t even find Garrett Graff’s notebook (even though Jenny very kindly tried to help me via Twitter…but unfortunately, we had already left).

It was really cold at softball tonight–we had two games. I had a blanket wrapped around me for the two plus hours that I was there and it wasn’t enough. My younger daughter finished her game 30 minutes before her big sister. She too was cold–and she was only wearing her team short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts, that’s it. I was quite happy that I had an extra blanket for her while we watched the rest of my older daughter’s game. When we were leaving the park after the game was over, my younger daughter was worried that her big sister might be cold too–even though her big sister was wearing long sleeves and sweatpants. She took her blanket and wrapped part of it around her sister–she made sure to hold it up on her sister’s shoulder so she would be warm too.

I am glad I have a camera on my cell phone. I’m such a sap; I was delighted that I was able to capture this moment of pure love that makes life worth living.

Jack strikes again. My son found another Firefox translation add-on. This one appears as a toolbar called FoxLingo. It offers more features than I can name–and translates 45 languages. Tremendous.

I’m posting a few of our “theme songs” to remind us what really matters…and that, it’s not about the curve-balls.

Always try. Learn from failure. Trust the reason. Be graceful in victory. Celebrate life and people. Stay thankful. Help. Forgive. Dance. Laugh. Most importantly, remember who you do it for.

For my laugh… Here is a video that reminds me of the semester (oh yeah, I like analogies too!). You started out thinking “Social Media”–how tough is that?! But then, along came Garrett who took us on a journey of Web 2.0 “consumption”…at lightning speed. And the more we consumed, the more he passed along!

And now I shift gears. For the sentiment…

To my classmates, thank you. I have learned a lot from each of you. I have enjoyed and looked forward to your blog posts. You have shared your lives, perspectives and opinions–your blogs have been a pleasure to read. Jenny and Rosie–and all who keep writing, I will keep reading…I am a subscriber (thanks to RSS and my Google reader)! Yes, I’m a geek and I subscribed to all the class blogs.

Lastly, one of my children’s teachers would read this poem on “Parents’ Night” to illustrate her hopes for our kids for the year. I love the poem…however, I never thought it would refer to me!

Garrett, thanks for the wings!
