Alas Dear Reader, a Great Sadness Fall Upon Us...

Blah. Blech. Yuck.

Okay, I've officially "had it" with this weather! It's June 6th and I want to get a sunburn. I want the backs of my thighs to helplessly stick to the vinyl seats in my car. I want to complain about the unbearable humidity like the dutiful New Englander I am! And thus far I have not been able to do any of my traditional summer activities yet. I'm starting to become logy (great word, no?). Then I thought if I'm logy, you might be logy too. So that makes for a logy party of two. And what if a great number of other people are feeling logy as well? Oh my! That's a disturbing amount of logy for little Rhody.

Thus to combat the vast, mass loginess abounding in the Ocean State, let's watch this silly video.



Now don't you feel better?

Because I Heart Lee Lefever

When you are looking for something on the Internet (and you don't have your trusty librarian sitting beside you) do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there? Do you hit the ENTER key and get a results list that could rival War and Peace?

My computer guru Lee Lefever (remember him?) has put together a great video designed to help you get more from your web searches.

So watch it, then surf the world wide web with confidence!

What News Anchors Do During Commercial Breaks

Okay, the video has nothing to do with MPL. However it made me laugh so much, and I immediately thought of you, dear reader!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
