Best Laid Plans

Hey.

It’s been a robust day in my real life, given the concentration crushing headache I have in the right side of my head and the lack of cooperation on the part of my washing machine. Meanwhile at work, our phone dies and our students are needy. Hey, it’s that time of year.

There’s a very real chance that we may need one of those Herc-o-meter days I’ve run up in advance. However, I will still give the writing the old college try. At college, anyway. Trying.

Meanwhile, ouch.

Herc-o-meter: El Torro Wrestling Match

Less headachy, but still sore. But I is discipline writer! My word count, let me show you it!

Some of you came up with some pretty wild guesses yesterday, but Mochi Monkey is correct that Prometheus was the other titan that Hercules encountered on the way. She added that he drove off a liver-eating eagle and freed him. That is correct.

Today’s trivia: Hercules met two other people on the way to Atlas as well. Can you name them? This is a REALLY hard question.

And Herculean wisdom:

“Leo,” said George. “Can you show me how to do that pile driver?”
“You don’t want to do that at home, okay, George.”
Tony felt superior to George. “Because wrestling isn’t a game. It’s a profession.”

Don’t try wrestling moves at home, kids!

See you tomorrow!
