You’d think that after yesterday’s travails, I might finally be home. But no; I’m still in Minneapolis, and am about to spend a day at the Science Museum of Minnesota with a group of students. And then afterwards I’ll go home and sink into blissful unconsciousness.
It’s a good way to prepare for World Humanist Day, don’t you think? There are a lot of other suggestions at that link, but contributing to a museum and talking science with young people is just my thing.
You’ve got until tomorrow to come up with something human to do for yourself. What will it be?
Well, I’ll be taking care of the Redhead. Then I hope to sneak in the last episodes of Cosmos.
Tomorrow is also World Giraffe Day!
And the 21st is National Peaches And Cream Day as well!
I plan on doing some of this:

re @3:
Does that include Frozen Peaches (Freeze Peach!!!) ;-D
I’ll be setting up ramps and rails for a Go Skateboarding Day event. Flinging ourselves about on wheeled boards in the name of beauty and style seems very human :D
Blow up the planet.
… …
Oh, Sorry, You didn’t mean that sort of thing which humans do…
The science museum is awesome. Thanks in large part to the collector’s corner, my son has developed a deep interest in geology and fossils. He traded a goat skull for the prize of his rock collection – an uncut ruby.
I’ll be quilting.
Tomorrow is juhannus. I’m under obligation, as every Finn, to be very, very drunk.
Seems like a normal day then.
</snark>The younger child and I will be flying to Minnesota to see my mother, my brother, my brother’s wife and my newish niece and nephew. My older child flew out about a week and a half ago. The city where mother, brother, brother’s wife, niece and nephew live is amusingly called by Wikipedia “one of the largest cities in Central Minnesota”, which is true while being at the same time sort of misleading to those of us who are used to Massachusetts.
I’m going down to Rockford, IL tomorrow to give a donation to the IL/WI Stateline Atheist Society for the Humanist Volunteer Night Providing and Serving a Meal to Veterans event.
I have a shameful secret: I can’t drink myself senseless, there’s football to watch!
Selling corn at the local Pride event.
Mmm pride corn
Eh? As far as I know (which is even farer than I care), Finland is not in the World Pea Kicking Cup. This is a Good Point.
And in any case, the only thing worth watching is the incredibly bad acting as so-called “players” fall down and claim they were unfairly fouled. For feck’s sake,. dead p0rn stars are more convincing.
On the other hand, being senseless is perhaps the only way to deal with the absurd fraud.
I think I’ll spend the day at the former Science Museum of Minnesota location, which is now the largest Scientology church in the Midwest, and work on purging the thetans from my soul.
well what did you think of the museum? i frankly think its a joke.adult centered museums when down the drain when San Francisco built that exploratorium.it’s all games and gizmos.the bell museum was the only real one around and it’s going to be taken apart,moved and made into another kid playground.

I’ll get off your lawn right after I say that I’m rather happy to see the demise of
The Museums of Dead-Things-In-Glass-Boxes.
and I’ve been going to those for over 50 years.
What I’d like to be doing? Having some fun at World Pride. But I don’t know anyone to go with, so instead I’ll probably go shopping for a dress for a wedding I’m going to next weekend.
I might spend a bit of time advocating for religion-free health care in Ontario by doing a survey and writing some email and tweeting. http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca/?page_id=3403
Wait. How do I human?
I plan to spend approximately 1/3 of it sleeping. Is that human enough?
@Weed(less) Monkey #10:
I’ve never heard of juhannus, but now I feel an urge to crack open a bottle.
After watching the England matches I bloody well needed to drink myself senseless.
Yeah, their elimination wasn’t hilarious enough. More prat-falls and some giant rubber duckies would made the clowns more entertaining.
@blf #25:
I see you’re in the running for the new England manager. Congratulations!
