Never too late

Ed Moseley is proof that it is never too late to learn something new. This 86–year-old Atlanta man taught himself to knit after his assisted living facility challenged residents  to create warm hats for the preemies at a nearby hospital. After getting a knitting kit from his daughter, Moseley spent hours making 55 colorful caps for the infants. He even held classes for the other residents,  and  more than300 hand-knitted caps were delivered to the neonatal unit. MERRY CHRISTMAS ED MOSELEY!!!

Creative Way for Students to Get Rid of Excess Energy in Class

In my “born and raised in” state of North Carolina, a Middle-school teacher keeps her fidgety students focused in class by putting bike pedals underneath their desks. Grades have gone up and discipline problems have dropped since her students at Martin Middle School began pedaling their way through Math class!

Olympic Hearts of Gold

Abbey D’Agostino and Nikki Hamblin didn’t win any medals at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, but they showed the world they have hearts of gold. The U.S. and New Zealand runners were competing in the 5,000-meter qualifying heat last week when Hamblin accidentally clipped D’Agostino, causing both women to tumble. D’Agostino got up, but rather than run off, she helped the dazed New Zealander to her feet. The pair raced on, but D’Agostino had injured her leg and fell again. Hamblin helped the American up, giving away her medal chances, and the athletes crossed the finish line together. “I’m never going to forget that moment,” said Hamblin.

"Go" to Jail

THE WEEK magazine printed that it was a bad week for crooks with smartphones. It seems that the Manchester, New Hampshire police department announced it had found one of the rarest Pokemon Go characters-Charizard- in its headquarters, and invited a list of 500 people to catch it. All 500 are wanted fugitives!

Facebook or Chocolate?

The same brain circuits that are activated by eating chocolate and winning money are activated when teenagers see large numbers of “likes” on their own photos or the photos of peers in a social network, according to a first-of-its-kind UCLA study that scanned teens’ brains while using social media.

I don't know about you, but I'll go for the chocolate every time!

Sorry Bill...can't use you in my introductions anymore... :(

Bill Cosby has just been ordered by a Pennsylvania judge to stand trial for sexual assault charges. Well, there goes my biggest claim to fame in my stand-up comedy career.

I opened for Bill Cosby several years ago and enjoyed having that fact mentioned in subsequent introductions.

Thanks, Bill. You sure screwed that up! (Pun intended!!!)
