Did you miss me? I missed you guys too. I really need to get better about posting on the weekends, but it seems like so far, it is while at work that I am most driven to update my blogs (that's right, plural, if you just can't get enough of thoughts from the brain of Josh Man, go here).
Anyway, on to today's Quote of the Day...
Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle aged men.
-Kin Hubbard
There are obviously a lot of places we could take this quote o' the day, but I'm going somewhere different with it, as someone who is nearing middle aged man status and who left boy hood somewhere back in his past, I feel uniquely qualified to talk about something that a lot of boys love that also still holds interest for this almost middle aged man, dinosaurs.
I still remember going to the Fields Museum as a child in Chicago and seeing Sue, the world's most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil.
I remember watching with awe as Stephen Spielberg gave us the awe inspiring sight of dinosaurs walking among us in Jurrasic Park (too bad the sequels sucked, but the original is still the best and most realistic dinosaurs have ever looked on screen).
That's why I still got a feeling of excitement and awe when I read this article on CNN.com today. I look forward to the time when this mummified fossil is unearthed completely and ready to view. I for one will make sure that I am on hand to see it in person.
