I thought all you parents (and grandparents) might like this. I've already sent it to Facebook, which means some of you are seeing it twice. No matter--it's worth reading again. Also recommended reading for us aunts and uncles.

Lost Kafka writings resurface, trapped in trial - Yahoo! News
"Loeb says the cache could include endings to some of Kafka's major works, many of which remained unfinished in his lifetime."
And, presumably, will remain unfinished unless K. did some fancy death bed editing. But wait, it says "many" not all remain unfinished. Never mind: I have a headache.

"The more fluid the movement of the race the better, but in Friday's race one stray bull held back, slipping over on the pavement at every turn, looking disoriented yet observant."
"Disoriented yet observant"-- we know the feeling.

Honk, if you remember Hank Ballard and the Midnighters
Come on, baby! Checker marks 50 years of the Twist
"Checker's 1960 cover version of the Hank Ballard and the Midnighters song — released a year earlier to mild success — became a smash hit and turned the dance into a pop culture touchstone. It remains the only single to reach No. 1 on the U.S. charts during two separate runs, in 1960 and again in 1962."

"Water was present on the surface of Mars four billion years ago but lasted for only a few hundred million years, according to principal investigator Jean-Pierre Bibring from the University of Paris.
'It shows that there was water, but not in the form of a large ocean', Bibring told AFP, adding that the Martian crust was hydrated in the same manner in the north and south.
The conclusions contradict those of an American team, who in a study published June 13 in Nature Geoscience journal said a vast ocean covered a third of the surface 3.5 billion years ago.
'Mars had already lost its atmosphere 3.5 billion years ago, water was no longer stable in the liquid state on the surface,' said Bibring."
Principal Investigator Bibring seems like a fellow who is pretty sure of himself.
