Oh, wait… Wrong Rent. My parents were in town for the weekend. It just seemed longer.

Yes, I am a terrible son. I’ve never exactly been a black sheep, but I seem to do something to piss off my family pretty regularly. Some minor irritations (like growing a beard or getting my ear pierced) some major disappointments (like moving 900 miles away from home or moving in with a girlfriend). I wonder how they’d react to the stuff I’ve never told them like…[hey, I gotta have some secrets].

By coincidence, Winter Park’s Concours D’Elegance was on Sunday and we spent some time wandering around looking at shiny objects. Then we took a Scenic Boat Tour and I learned a couple things about my adopted home. I knew that there are canals linking some of the lakes. I didn’t know they were originally built by loggers to make it easier to get cypress logs to a local sawmill. And we saw several ridiculously large and expensive homes. (But someday, this teaching thing is going to really pay off and then….)

• 60 x 24 x 365 = 525,600 minutes in one year
• 60 x 24 x 366 = 527,040 minutes in one leap year
• 1 year = 525,948.766 minutes according to Google Calculator because 1 year = 365.242199 days
