h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was just doing a web search for sushi when I happened upon this community. I recently tried sushi for the first time at our local mall with my kids. Usually when I have seen sushi, the packages are very expensive and have very little actual food. I finally had a taste when the food court had sushi on special. I really liked it and most importantly, my seven year old liked it too. He is kind of picky and prefers sausages and meat pies to healthier foods. But he has fallen in love with sushi and wants to learn to make it. So maybe we will try this once I have gathered the necessary materials.

I only just managed to get my three old to sleep a little while ago. He has a problem with going to sleep at bed time. I think he inherited this from me. I have always resisted sleep but I think I am becoming more sensible as I have grown older (or maybe due to the addition of children to my life). Otherwise, I truly regret it and become almost as impatient as my three year old. I think tonight he is upset because his newest buddy, Al Pine (aka Fisher Price Rescue Hero) had to go away for awhile due to a temper tantrum that was out of control. He is learning the very hard way that tantrums don't accomplish much. Eventually he settled down and became cuddly and slept peacefully.

I napped this afternoon so it's likely I will be awake much longer than I would like tonight. I have been swinging from needing to sleep very early to being wide awake in the night. I imagine I will spend some time watching a video of Michael Palin's Full Circle series tonight. I hadn't watched his travel programs before but ran across his series Around the World in 80 Days a few weeks ago. I missed the first episode but stuck with the rest and loved it. I found these videos at the library and checked out all three and started on them last night. Unfortunately I was sleepy and dozed off in the middle so will have to rewind a bit. I managed to get the book with this one and it's been a great companion so far. I really love travel so this just fuels my interest.
