Pharmaceutical music...

Since school started this year, Nathaniel has instituted a new way of waking up: He connects his iPod to his stereo and puts it on shuffle. In spite of the fact that we all have different and eclectic taste in music, the rest of us enjoy most of his music, and we sing along to it.

This morning, one of the songs was "Yellow Submarine". Michal, whose taste tends towards Broadway, said "What on earth is this?!" Nathaniel replied "It's the Beatles. It's when they were on drugs."

What is Heraldry?



It's my current hobby. Rather than taking 15 minutes to read or listen to my explanation of heraldry, you can go view this three minute YouTube clip starring Terry Jones of Monty Python fame. He explains it better than I do, and he's funnier.

BTW, that is NOT the "SMITH Family coat of arms". Just the arms of someone named "Smith", probably not related to me. But that is a different chapter in my explanation of heraldry...
