I got an email from Cathy, who runs a family business delivering newpapers. She commandeered Alex to help one day, and asked if she could contribute to the blog. Of course, I said yes! Wow, a guest Blogger! Thanks Cathy!

Alex was hired to help with our family business of newspaper delivery. I must say what a hilarious young man he is... filled with all kinds on nonsense information that kept us all amused, and wondering all day...

• Why do you play at a recital and recite at a play ?
• Why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway ?
• Why do your feet smell and your nose run ?

And other useless trivial facts like....

• Did you know that you were prohibited from catching a whale in Oklahoma?
• Did you know that you can't grow a mustache and go to church in Alabama?
• Did you know that it is illegal to eat an orange in your bathtub in California?

But the best line of the entire day working with Alex - and I believe that it is his personal mantra - is... Hard work never killed anybody, but why risk it?
