I don't know if Tootsie Pops still run the commercials that famously say, "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? The World may never know..." but, we now know! A guy who goes by RiffRaff41 figured it out for us! So how many licks DOES it take?

Meet Isaac. Isaac is a non-verbal (meaning he does not talk) 8-year-old autistic boy. But just because Isaac doesn't speak, doesn't mean that he can't sing, which came as a surprise to his teacher one day.

I'm originally from the UP. It sucks because I'm not able to go back home and visit as much as I'd like to. My family all being there is, of course, my favorite part of the UP, but my second favorite part is highlighted in this video. The thing that you never notice when you live in the city is that you can never see all of the stars. There's too much light here, and it drowns out a lot of the smaller, dimmer stars. In the UP, you don't get that light pollution, so on clear nights, you get to see scenes like these.

Here's the thing... babies are bald. It's a fact of life. Sure, some babies are born with a full head of hair, but it's not the norm. So, the fact that there is actually a market out there for BABY WIGS has me a little puzzled and irrationally irritated. The wigs, called "Baby Bangs" are out there so that your infant doesn't look "too bald" in photos. Seriously. If you're getting photos taken of your kid, don't you want to remember them how they actually looked at the time?!? Apparently there are some mothers out there who don't.

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to play in our first ever Andy Rent's River Golf Outing (presented by Fox Honda). The weather was beautiful (albeit hot), and we hope that everyone had as great of a time as we did! Thanks again to the fine folks at Watermark Country Club for hosting the event. And to all of you, again, for helping us raise money for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)!

I generally don't catch late night TV. I go to bed too early to see any of the late night shows, but generally if something noteworthy happens, I find out about it eventually. Like this - Wednesday night, Michigan native Jeff Daniels was on with David Letterman, and they had quite a lengthy conversation about just how awesome Michigan is!

I remember the days of Sunday school well. Every Sunday, after church, my parents got to go home and my brothers and I stayed behind to learn something new about the Bible. There were also incentives for memorizing certain things - The Lord's Prayer, The 23rd Psalm, and the books of the Bible. This kid learned young, at only 4-years-old, and got to get up in front of the congregation to recite them. But, I don't remember this last part being in the Bible.
