Muslims, Mormons, and Mr. Rodgers: A Very Educational Saturday

     So, plans this week did not go as I had hoped, but today was such an educational day that I'm really not upset.  See, today I got to read my sister's first draft of her thesis on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, a subject which I was sorely undereducated on.  Then I crossed a friend's Facebook page and happened upon an article about Mormon beliefs, and then an article on Mr. Rodgers.  Three different, yet similar and connected subjects.  Saying that "my brain is fried" would be putting it very lightly. 

     Other than that is the joy of ending the day with The Bronson Pinchot Project, and even better, getting a response from the magic man himself on his Facebook page! :-O I made a comment about how he doesn't look 53, and he responded: "I'm going on 54 and having given up hair dye last month my hair is bright polished silver."  Yes, that's right, I just copy/pasted that like the silliest fan girl.  Why?  Because I think it's awesome I got a response.  But frankly, that response still leaves me a little confused as to how to respond.  This is the best I could come up with: "I can't decide whether that was a way to say, "that's sweet little girl" or if you're just fishing for a "silver fox" compliment...?"  Yep; "Pathetic was her name-o."  I've met a few fairly famous people, but for some reason I actually felt a little fan girlish just now.  Possibly because I was being sincere in saying he doesn't look that old, or possibly because I feel awkward now having said anything at all, let alone a personal comment to a complete stranger.  But I do that all the time with comments like "nice shirt/pants/dress/something" and don't think anything of it.  Maybe it's just lack of sleep...  Eh, whatever.

     Regardless, today wasn't necessarily a bad day.  Just a long day.  Being that tomorrow will be another long day it is time for me to say farwell and be off to shower and bed.  I will leave you with a photo of one of my favorite memories from Hawaii: My first encounter with Banyan Trees.
