Cranium lessons

Well, we didn't get to play racquetball at Copper because Charles claimed an injury. We'll try to settle this tonight on the court with my friends Andy and Dan.
Copper was a blast even without the court-bashing.
We stayed up late, drank a little and snow-tubed during the day. But the highlight for me is always when the family gets together to play games. We usually break out Taboo. I was teamed with Charles and his dad, George and Tracy's cousin, Keeley. We smoked the competition in the final round with six answers in a minute!
Then we played Cranium which was a lot of fun and I learned a lot, such as:
* The Human body has about 1.5 gallons of blood ... and nurses don't necessarily know this!
* Very few people in Tracy's family know who Aerosmith is.
* When you hum "Stairway to Heaven," it really sounds like "Hark, the Heralds Angels Sing."
* Humming "Margaritaville" does not sound like "Margaritaville."
* Granite is metamorphic rock.
* Keeley's daughter, Breanne, who is in sixth grade, will probably have a future as a sculptor. She was actually able to mold her play-dough so that her team could guess "Buddah" by making the sculpture and then making little people bowing to him. Pretty amazing!
* Don't EVER get sick in Holyoke!
* I frequently get WAY too competitive about these things.
* Whistling while laughing is very difficult.
* Rum and apple cider taste really good together.

When you hum "Stairway to Heaven," it might sound like "Hark, the Heralds Angels Sing." When I hum it it sounds like Rockin Around the Christmas tree....

And sometimes like "Freebird."
Strange, huh?
