Today I learned that if I can start a side business and endure constant mental stress, I can start walking/jogging and endure future physical stress to combat the mental stress. Day 1 of walking/jogging. Month 13 of side business.

Today I learned that in the Chuukese language, the sound of the letter N is formed differently in English. It is very similar to our L. Our N and L sounds put our tongues in nearly the same place, but one is an aveolar sound, and the other an approximant. So when Chuuk people write names or words in the Latin alphabet, they might pick an L or an N. How's that for random.

I love brussel sprouts. Especially roasted with some bacon and some parmesan sprinkled on top.

Out of curiosity I looked up what what brussel sprouts are called in Brussels.
The site it took me to screams at you that they are called BrusselS even if it is just one sprout! Also the b must always be capitalized. ALWAYS!!

Those Belgians are fanatical about vegetables named after them.

I second-guessed the trailing s yet again. Someone once called me out saying "It's a vegetable, not the city."

Good times. If we ever get them with dinner, let them stay on your order. I'll eat them.

There's a place by me that you can get pan fried Brussels sprouts with pork belly as an appetizer. Or two...
