Uncle Q and Aunt Karen are busy corrupting young FFM with Guitar Hero. They rocked out to Tom Petty's American Girl this morning. I had to make a mad dash for the camera, totally blog worthy stuff. At which point Uncle Q, who never reads the blog but knows it exists, said, 'You're not putting that on the blog are you?' Oh yeah. Totally.
Four Corners
There's an interesting spot in the southwestern United States where the corners of four states all meet.
It's the only spot in the entire US where this happens so of course there's a monument there and enterprising Navajo Indians charge a small admission fee to go stand on the exact spot where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah all meet.
FFM thought this whole stop was pretty good stuff.

Dashing Through the Snow
I am not a one horse open sleigh, but my blessed mother-in-law is.
There's not enough snow on the sledding hill to go sledding right now, but she and FFM really wanted to try out the sled, so out they went.
That's the face of hysterical laughter if you can't tell. And yes, those are front yards. Just wait until there's enough snow to go down a slope, there won't be any stopping these two.

A Happy State
Well, if MSN says it, it must be true.
We live in a happy state. But not as happy as Wyoming.
According to MSN:
"Here are the top 10 states and their average well-being scores (out of a possible 100 points):"
Utah: 69.2
Hawaii: 68.2
Wyoming: 68
Colorado: 67.3
Minnesota: 67.3
Maryland: 67.1
Washington: 67.1
Massachusetts: 67
California: 67
Arizona: 66.8
Oh, people, how did we let WYOMING edge us out? Hawaii, OK, I get that. Utah, yeah, well, they have mountains, Mormons, retirees, and really laid back folks, and pretty much the same weather we have here. Maybe it's time to move to Wyoming. Or Hawaii. Yeah, as soon as I'm tired of Colorado I'll pick one of those two places to move to.

Least happiest state, West Virgina. Sorry West Viginians, check out Wyoming. It's got a lot of room.
