Flo, the girl on the Progressive Auto Insurance ads, is sure animated.  I have this love/hate thing going with her; but mostly love.

A Perfect Snowman in Vineyard Haven

It was a so-glad-I-had-my-camera moment after a final round of Christmas shopping in town.

Sarah, the blogfriend, has always been pretty terrified of her Mac. Lately, she has been taking classes at the Mac Store to help overcome her fear of computing. Sarah proudly sent me her first video yesterday. It's going viral!

Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Fair

The entire population on the island looks forward to that third weekend in August for the annual Ag Fair. From the newborn calf, to Coco's paper dresses, to rides and hats, to yummy food and, of course, the skillet throw. It was another dream come true at the fair. The Vineyard Gazette captures the whole weekend here, and provides an introduction for my skillet throw video:

The feminine gusto was certainly not questioned on Sunday when the woodsmen cleared out and women ages 18 to 88 stepped to the competition field to hurl three pounds and eleven ounces of steel over a measured dirt expanse in the women’s skillet throw.

The oldest contestant, 88-year-old Ann Lesnikowski of Vineyard Haven, ambled to the throw-line while clutching her daughter in law’s hand. Once on the field, the gold-jeweled, pink-lipped lady launched a rusted frying pan more than six feet in front of her. “I think it’s fun,” said skillet thrower Ms. Lesnikowski. “It’s something to do at the fair. I like the idea of women being able to compete at possible sports.”

So cute, and so silly.

And one to go. For the second time this week I knocked over a newly planted flower pot while reversing out of the driveway. It's been a long winter!

The 'ol Ant Eggs Prank for April Fool's Day

Here's a classic and easy prank for kids of all ages:

- one regular size rubber band
- one regular size bobby pin
- one small-to-medium size button
- one envelope

1. cut one snip in a regular size rubber band to make a straight elastic line.
2. thread a small-to-medium size button through one end of the rubber band and drag the button to the middle of the rubber band.
3. spread a regular size bobby pin to form about a 30 degree angle into a "V" formation.
4. tie each end of the rubber band to each end of the bobby pin.
5. twist and turn the button around and around and around until tight, creating like a spring release.
6. while holding the button tight, place the entire contraption in an envelope, remove your hand from the button and close the flap.
7. write "ant eggs---10 days old" on the front of the envelope.
8. give the envelope to an unassuming friend while asking if they care to see some ant eggs.
9. when they attempt to open the envelope, by spreading open the sides, the button will spring-release and rapidly unravel, making a very loud noise as it unwinds against the sides of the paper. People generally freak-out and throw the envelope, never seeing the silly contraption inside. Great fun and terrifying. Who knew ant eggs could be so scary!?!

New Lingo on the Golf Course

Some new lingo to use when you're out on the course...

A 'Rock Hudson' - a putt that looked straight, but wasn't

A 'Saddam Hussein' - from one bunker into another

A 'Yasser Arafat' - butt ugly and in the sand

A 'John Kennedy Jr.' - didn't quite make it over the water

A 'Rodney King' - over-clubbed

An 'O.J.'- got away with one

A 'Princess Grace' - should have used a driver

A 'Princess Di' - shouldn't have used the driver

A 'Condom' - safe, but didn't feel very good

A 'Rush Limbaugh' - a little to the right

A 'Nancy Pelosi' - Way to the left and way out of bounds

A 'James Joyce' - a putt that's impossible to read

A 'Ted Kennedy' - goes in the water and jumps out

A 'Sonny Bono'- straight into the trees

A 'Mickey Mantle' - a dead Yank
