So sad about James Gandolfini! "The Sopranos" and "Mad Men" are the only two TV series I've followed 'religiously' in recent years. He was only 51. Wow.
You learn something new every day! .. RT @TheFirstCourse: if you place an orange into a hot oven for 2-3 minutes before peeling, no white fibers will be visible and the pectin will melt into the flesh.
Another friend with a broken foot! Is it an epidemic or something??? Poor kid didn't see a curb, fell and broke her foot in three places. Ouch! That makes SIX friends spending summer in casts. I promise it is not me. Seriously.
Oh I cannot imagine spending the summer in a cast. :( Speedy recovery to your friends! <3

Geeky buddies: If you can, catch "Airport Live" on the BBC. It's a behind the scenes look at Heathrow Airport. Hopefully it will make its way to BBCAmerica. It's currently showing in the evening (UK time) on BBC2.
Thanks everyone for checking :) A propane tank (for a gas grill) exploded in my neighbor's garage. Their car was damaged but I don't think anyone was hurt. That was a scary moment! My entire place just shook!

Eek! I guess I should check to make sure ours is safely stowed.

I wonder if it was over pressurized or something, or perhaps the heat was a factor. This family has three young children -- I am SO glad they are all safe.

When they're nearly empty, they can be super dangerous. So glad nobody was hurt.

I have heard that Jennifer. Their car took quite a hit! Apparently the tank was separate from the grill and on the garage floor beside the car. Left a huge dent in both the driver and passenger doors! Ugh!

Jennifer you were "right on" about the cause of the explosion. Apparently the tank was nearly empty and the fire department thinks it probably filled with vapors. Freakish!

LOL! This is classic! From friend: "You know you have been on too many planes when you finally land in your desk chair -- and look for the seat belt. I seriously just did that!" :)
Nothing grabs you and tugs at your heart like seeing this update: "We're pouring a foundation for a house then going to take meals to people at the dump." (From a friend on mission trip to Mexico)
OH: "Fast food restaurants should have 3 drive thru windows. One to pay, one to pick up your order, and the third to trade in all the wrong food they gave you."
An interesting fact for D-Day: There are several American military cemeteries throughout the world -- including the one in Normandy -- that are "deeded" to the United States. In other words, the cemeteries and memorial parks are United States' land ... and therefore American soil.
