Evolution and Human Behavior
This is sort of old news but I still find it interesting. According to a study, men and women can rule each other out as potential partners within three seconds of meeting. The researchers based their findings on participants of a speed dating service. I really need to try one of these speed dating/eight minute dating events to see if they’re all they’re cracked up to be. Of course the data is based on a group of people who are going to an event where they will have to make decisions about potential partners speedily, but it still raises some interesting points.

Drink for a Cause
Well we all know what is going on with Hurricane Katrina. People need our help, and thanks to a couple of my friends, we are making it easy for you guys. Go here: United Way to donate. Or if you’re local, please come and visit me at Bottoms Up on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester on Thursday night. My cousin Amy a.k.a. Punky (yes I know she’s adorable) will be bartending and she will be donating all (yes 100 %) of her tips to the fund.

She will be handing off all donations to our friend Arlene who works for the United Way and they will be going directly to the Hurricane Katrina fund. Thanks everyone.
And this just in from Tom: I’m setting [...]

I was really nervous this time, particularly because I already made such a bad first impression, so of course I kept fidgeting and couldn’t sit still. It was 92 degrees out and we had made plans to go to the Italian Festival. Once we got there we walked through the tent where all the cooking is done and it had to have been at least ten degrees warmer in there. We decided to walk to the nearest air conditioned place we could think of, which happened to [...]
