garbanzo beans looks like little brains
My brain currently feels like the size of a garbanzo bean. Maybe I need to go back to school. Or maybe I should just do some brain puzzles. Here is what I learned today: an average human brain weighs approximately 1,300-1,400 g, while a sperm whale brain weighs 7,800 g, while a goldfish brain weighs 0.097 g. If you want to compare more brain sizes, check this link out.
It is a beautiful day here in Berkeley/Oakland. I feel bad for ol’ Cooper…he has been stuck in doing more accounting/tax work. I know he is feeling stressed when his hair starts to get frazzled (which it currently is at the moment). I have either a bottle of champagne ready for him when he finishes or tissues if he has to pay $29759837529387. Soon he can hopefully put tax hell behind him and we will have a bucket of beers on the beaches of Mexico. Greg…have you gotten your base tan from a tanning salon? Just joking. Make sure you have your strongest sunglasses around because I am whiter than the whitest white and am sure to blind a few folks.Â

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
