Today's Question(s):
in Honor of Smithsonian Day

Have you ever been to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. ?

No, but I would love to visit the Smithsonian someday, especially the Air & Space museum!

If so was it a school trip or family trip ?


Bonus Question:

Who was the last person you said,or wanted to say

"I guess we will have to agree to disagree"

A few days ago I was talking to an acquaintance and he said he was looking forward to the upcoming football season and I said that I agreed! Then he said his favorite football team was the Philadelphia Eagles and I told him my favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys and Eagles are archrivals and hate each other. When I told him I was a Cowboys fan I could tell it was awkward for him so we both agreed it would be best not to talk about NFL football with each other anymore....lol.


Extra Credit Question:

What was the last "screw cap" you opened ?


20 oz. bottle of Coca-Cola.



I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

I don't remember saying it to anyone, but I know I've wanted to say it to Facebook friends who use the site to promote their political and religious views.

It was a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
