Ten Snowshoeing Tips

Growing up, Web Watch spent winters traversing across the countryside on cross-country skis (okay, it was mainly snow-covered golf courses, but to us it was the wild wilderness) .

There’s a reason why the NordicTrak is considered good exercise — cross-country skiing is hard work, and takes a ton of effort and coordination to do it right.  Especially when you’re 6-years-old in a Michelin-man sized snowsuit.

We fell down a lot, but we had fun.

Fun with Photography: Water Wigs

Men- are you going bald?  If so, what’s your plan?

Not every man can pull off a wig.  Web Watch knows some balding men that have either gone with the “short stubble” look, or completely shaved everything off.  At least in our circle of friends, we may have a few bare crowns, but there isn’t anyone that’s decided to do a complete comb-over like our grandparents would do.

One of our friends once contemplated getting hair plugs/grafts — at the time, he said it was a bargain for $11,000, and his girlfriend at the time really pushed for it.  But he had second thoughts and decided that he was going to work it out with what God intended him to have, hair or not.

Top things to do on a first date

When was the last time you went on a “first date”?

Can you even remember what you did on your first date with your current significant other?  Here’s a game to play — with your spouse, you each separately write down how you believe your first date went.  The where, what, how — as many details as you can each remember.

Then, hand your answers over to an impartial party (like your best friends or children), and have them compile the answers back to see who got the most portions of the story correct.  Bonus points are awarded for anything the two of you match on.

What’s the best AA battery?

Web Watch had a rough childhood.

Our father was a bit of a tinkerer. A gadget-guy.  (Still is, actually.)

He loves to put things through their paces, then take them apart to see how they worked or if they could be improved upon.

For a while, when we were young, he was infatuated with battery-operated devices – like toys.  So he’d go out and buy the latest, greatest battery-operated toy (even better if it was a rechargeable battery).  And Web Watch would get to play with the toy for as long as we wanted to.

Go ahead.  Have fun with that.

Until Dad decided that it was time for him to take the toy apart and see what made it last as long as it did on that single battery charge.

Web Watch went through a lot of battery-operated toys during that time.  Sure, we got to play with all of them, but only for like a day.

Facebook vs the World: Tracking Your Friendships around the Globe

Web Watch has traveled all over the world and has made tons of friends.

We could call up folks from Hong Kong to Morocco, and places in-between using that old-fashioned telephone thingie.

Sure, we could use Facebook to reach out to all our friends, but why do something that impersonal when you can reach out and touch someone with a phone call?

Which Fictional Character Do You Share Your Birthday With?

Ask pretty much anyone about their birthday, and we can be fairly certain that the person you’re asking will be able to tell you about any number of famous people who share birthdays on the same day.

“Harrison Ford!”

“Abraham Lincoln!”

“King Henry VIII!”

“Miley Cyrus!”

A lot of this will be printed in the paper, and the information doesn’t really change from year to year.  Astrologers really have it easy, don’t they?
