(Ben) Over the past two weeks I've had three tidbits come up that I wanted to post on here. They're completely unrelated to each other, but you'll probably get a kick out of at least one of them:
1. Harvard Business School is a serene place, especially in the summer when the nearly 2,000 MBA students are all doing internships. There are a few doctoral students wandering campus, several painters and landscapers keeping things looking nice, and occasionally you even see a professor or two. But what I was surprised to see was wildlife. Yep, HBS is home to lots of rabbits, and several wild turkeys. Who'd have thought? This video is proof (I didn't make it, and it's kind of long--you probably don't need to watch the whole thing). Ivy league indeed...
2. Here's why I don't trust salespeople. They'll say anything to make a sale.
3. Those of you who have never lived in the same house as Jenn might not know that she knows approximately 1,279,113 inane songs. We've been married for nearly five years, and I think she still comes up with about one song per week that I've never heard in my life, no exaggeration. This week she popped out two beauties: "The Barney Bag," from Barney of course, and "Dogs & Cats" from Scripture Scouts. If you really want to hear the Dogs & Cats song, it's probably about song #15 on Scripture Scouts Radio. You'll know you've found it when you hear the first lyric: "Woof!" And just to clear up any confusion, no, she didn't just start singing these after Henry was born. From the looks of the last post, it appears that Henry has a lot of his mom's genes in this regard!

I've noticed Jenn's amazing ability to recall the most random songs over the years, it's uncanny! I loved the video of the salesman making a fool of himself. Also it makes me happy to hear that wild turkeys and rabbits roam the hallowed grounds of Harvard, that is so fun!
Ben, I can totally back you up on that one. I think Jenn brought approximately 1,025 of those inane songs into my life...AND I STILL REMEMBER MOST OF THEM! i.e. whenever someone complains about doing the dishes, I start singing "It's your DESTINYYYYY...". See if Jenn remembers THAT one that she and Shug made up back in Heritage Halls..
What a beautiful tribute you've written about one of Jenn's talents. I've got a CD ready to send you that should get her past the 1,279,120 mark.
Good ol Barney! I love that song. I have sung that song quite a few times this year actually. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but whatcha gonna do when that song pops into your head!
