What is a Plethora?

1995- A cute young gentleman and a naive young girl from Redford Township meet at Michigan State University at one of the few and far between parties. The young man begins a conversation with the naive girl and states the he is a "virtual plethora of arcane knowledge". The naive girl was amazed at the use of so many big words in one sentence. Not wanting to sound "small town" or "naive" because she does not know what any of the words mean, she asks, " What is a plethora?" He responds with the fact that he knows massive amounts of information about everything. She is wooed. Her friend just thinks he is cute and that she herself should make out with him, but.... the naive girl wins. They go out a few times and she finds out he is definitely not a virtual plethora of arcane knowledge after all. He is just a bit odd. That is one word she did know the meaning of without looking it up in the dictionary.

Robyn, you were smart to let him go.

Grace went skiing for the first time over Christmas break. Note the lack of snow in the background. This was up at Boyne Highlands. We are hoping to go up this weekend and get her out there again. Hopefully the weather cooperates. We have had tons of snow, but now apparently sleet is in the forecast. Lovely. That and Christopher is sick. There is always something, isn't there?!!??

Edit: I had a typo and thanks to the ever observant and incredibly perfect Alison, I have managed to stop the world from crumbling due to my error. Thank you.

Technologically challenged

I am officially entering the new era of blogging! We used to have a website but now with all this fancy technology, you can have a blog and not have to pay anything! That and it seems much easier so far! I will try my best to update a couple times a month. I am hoping to give updates on the kids, our travels and other things that I find interesting even if you don't.
