Ok no Super Bowl for us again, but we still have the Wing Bowl. This year it's Wing Bowl XII and the reigning champ El Wingador (Bill Simmons) has some very interesting competition. Sonya Thomas aka Black Widow is entering the competition for the first time. She is 5ft 5in, 99 Lbs, her competitor El Wingador is 318lbs. They will not be the only ones in the Wing Bowl but Sonya will most likely be the smallest. The Philadelphia Inquirer did a story about her which also gives information about other speed eating competitions. There are competitions throughout the year for eating such yummy treats as Jalapeno peppers and pickled Quail eggs. There is even a group for this "sport"; The International Federation of Competitive Eating. Everyone has their gift as they say.

One of the recent pages on the Therapy Resources Inc. site is called: It's Time to Come Clean and it's located on the Healthy Hints page. The page is about handwashing, how to wash your hands, when to wash them and group activities to promote good handwashing. It was posted to coincide with National Handwashing week in December and has been posted about the same time the last couple of years. It is a very popular page based on the number of visitors and will be up just a little longer for that reason. Coincidentally we're not the only ones that thought that promoting good handwashing was important. The Philadelphia Inquirer had an article this past Sunday about norovirus; When shipping out be sure to wash up. This is the virus that has plagued some cruise ship passengers with gastrointestinal illness. The best way to prevent the spread of the virus is, (drum roll please) good handwashing.

Since I'm a big fan of the movies having a theater so close has really had an impact on my movie watching. I have attended more movies in the last year than I have in the two previous years combined. It seems so much easier to find the time and with the type of movies that have been showing much easier to find something to watch. Plus I haven't been shying away from drama as much lately as I have in the past.
Most recently I've seen In America and Love Actually a drama and a romantic comedy respectively. I recommend In America, here are the Rotten Tomato reviews for In America and here they are for Love Actually.

So a trip to Florida to visit Dizzy World is in your future? Avoid the holidaze if at all possible, the crowds are too much. Do try to get on Mission Space a flight simulator ride in Epcot Center which spins you in a centrifuge while you and your team try to complete your assignments. Also get to PhilarMagic where Donald takes center stage when he puts on Mickey's sorcerer's hat and tries to conduct the orchestra. We enjoyed our dinners in the Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge and in the Sci Fi Diner Theater. All the meals were expensive but the food and service was generally good, I especially liked the African buffet in Animal Kingdom Lodge.
