The Story of Angela and Eggy

Because you wanted to know . . .

On a May day in a Memphis classroom, multiple eggs were decorated, weighed, and named before sliding down a chute made of shoe box lids into kid designed landing pads. With ten sheets of newspaper and an arms' stretch of masking tape, kids designed these cushions. Thus, The Egg Drop Competition began. 

In order to properly place landing pads, students filled plastic Easter eggs with rocks. These practice eggs weighed the same as real eggs and got cracked before reluctant eggs ran the chute. 

To "egg" them on, kids cheered and clapped and then the trek began. Most eggs fell to their sudden death; however, Angela and Eggy were survivors. They even successfully slid down the high dive, the top of the book shelf. 

The best landing pads were funnel shaped with lots of give. Anyone who folded newspapers put their eggs in grave danger. As winning eggs, they received the reward of going home with the teacher to be eaten.

However, they became blog celebrities on Wordless Wednesday. I know you want to know about the Wordless Wednesday before this one, when I missed it doing something secret. Sorry, but I still can't reveal. I will let you know soon.

#MM Rock and Roll Legend Paul McCartney

While in my twenties, I worked at Marlborough Hall in St. Louis which was a respite care facility for children or adults with cerebral palsy and other physical handicaps. I'll never forget Francie, the thirty-year-old woman who was in love with Paul McCartney. Just mention his name and she'd squeal. He is forever and always a rock and roll legend.

Going back a little further to high school, I was part of a band car float where we repeatedly played Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I never got tired of it.
