This Day in World History - Each evening that weather permitted, Maria (pronounced Mah-RYE-uh) Mitchell mounted the stairs to the roof of her family’s Nantucket home to sweep the sky with a telescope looking for a comet. Mitchell—who had been taught mathematics and astronomy by her father—began the practice in 1836. Eleven years later, on October 1, 1847, her long labors finally paid off. When she saw the comet, she quickly summoned her father, who agreed with her conclusion.

My dream winter escape? Well, I hate being cold and I despise skiing so that pretty much leaves out anything north of Florida. I did try skiing once, because I'm an adventurous gal and who knows, maybe I'd love it, right? Wrong. To quote those wonderful guys from In Living Color's "Men on Film" . . . HATED IT! (Remember those Men on Film skits? I give it three snaps in Z-formation. So hilarious!)
Anyway, after freezing all day and being cut off from some five-year-old crap who sent me flying into a pine tree, I vowed to never ski again. So my dream winter escape requires heat, tropical drinks and large bodies of water. Bob and I used to take a vacation every winter--in the days before baseball and our kids activities ruled--to places like Aruba or Jamaica. It felt so deliciously sneaky to pack our summer clothes and go to the airport dressed in shorts. Our absolute favorite trip was to Puerto Vallarta, so that, my friends, would be my ultimate wintertime escape.
And for those who miss the In Living Color TV show, here's a little taste of our friend Fire Marshall Bill. ;)
Oh, and that eBay item I tried to win last week? I totally lost. Grr.
Have a great Monday!
