MUSSELS

That's right. That's what I fell in love with the last time I was in Maine dining on lobster.

Oh, the lobster was great. Maine lobster is the best. But the mussels, my goodness, I must have eaten two dozen. On top of the lobster and corn.

It's not quite going to a steakhouse and ordering fish or vice versa as Albert Junkins said in the sixth grade, teaching me that term for the first time. We were not as bright then. At least not according to Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

By the way, though not a regular viewer, I've probably seen 25 shows or partial episodes and I've yet to see someone who was smarter than a 5th grader. Present company not an exception either. For instance yesterday the formula a2xb2=c2 had to be used to get the squared root answer of 13. The contestant and I bought bit the dust on that one.

But I'd imagine my first grade grand would know vice versa. I'll ask him. I know his 3rd grade bro will know. But there I go, not playing fair. Since school's out for the Summer, they're now 2nd and 4th graders. I'll report back in a future entry.

So this entry started with mussels, went through a memory word(s) recollection to a syndicated tv show to what a 2nd and 4th grader might know. I know, too, when it's time to quit.
