Melamine and feats of strength


First the melamine. (I just gave away the ending, but oh well.) By some completely random chance I found this plate online that I L-O-V-E-D. I gasped, I thought it was so beautiful and did not wonder if but when and how many I would buy. One for a shelf, or 2-4 for hanging together on the wall? I bookmarked the page and looked at it every day for nearly a week to remind myself how perfect it is. Then I took the time to read the description and noted it was made of melamine. Hmm, what's that, I wondered. I guess most people already know it's plastic. My heart sank, I was not planning to hang plastic on my wall. Now I'm a little torn, get one anyway for the shelf and maybe it'll look fine...or forget it altogether. I'm not excited about it anymore.


Feats of strength. Here's a fun film of Scott bench pressing Josh. Also an image of where Scott got pelted in the gut with a soccer ball at his indoor league game two nights ago. Ouch.

That's quite an impressive soccer ball mark.

Those plates would be super cute in glass. Maybe we could lobby for a manufacturing change.
