MICHAEL PHELPS - They say he is going to come back to Baltimore with $30,000,000.00 to start with in I would guess businesses that will pay to use his name....I will be he will suddenly have MANY more"friends" than he did before! I am not sure I would like that much fame as he now has.

In the interview I saw, he said he was picked on a lot when he was a kid. Kids would throw his hat out the bus window, flip his ears, etc. etc. all the time. He said that he checked his Facebook account and all these people that tormented him in school are now acting like they are long lost best buddies.

(I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
