TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: First Free Books, Now Free Sleds!
You may remember the story a few months back about how neighborhoods around the country are setting up little pop-up free libraries. Basically you set up a box in your neighborhood, and anyone can take or leave a book. Now small towns in places like Buffalo and Michigan have decided to make the best of all this winter snow and are doing the same thing, but with sleds!
We totally need this here in Connecticut. Maybe I will start one.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do we “knock on wood” ?
We’ve all done it before. You says something, but don’t want to jinx yourself or have bad luck so you immediately “knock on wood”. But where did this come from?
The most popular explanation for it says that it began back in Europe’s pagan days. The idea was to appeal to the tree-dwelling spirits in order to ward off bad luck or an expression of gratitude for good fortune. They believed that certain trees (oak, ash, hazel, hawthorn and willow) had a sacred significance to them and held a protective power.

For Christmas this year, Daniel bought Marta a necklace. Here’s the problem, she’s upset because after he gave it to her, he told her “this is your Christmas, birthday, and Valentine’s Day gift”.
