2. I went to three different junior high schools in two different states and three different towns.
3. My mother would punish me by taking away my books for the rest of the afternoon.

Lazy weekend

We've had a lazy weekend. It started when my son came home early from school Friday with a low-grade fever. He's a little better now, but still not eating very much.

Anyway, tonight is a big deal night for Full Moons. Here's why: tonight's full moon will be the biggest one during 2009. According to Space.com, "Saturday night (Jan. 10) the moon will be at perigee, the closest point to us on this orbit."
