Ryan Landis is a 6th grader who came up with HangEase, a collapsible coat hanger that snaps apart to allow for ease in getting it through those narrow-necked shirts.
Walmart is now carrying his invention. I have this strange feeling that in a year or two, this kiddo is going to be making more money than I do, without ever setting foot in an office.
Nothing like a 6th grader with a stroke of genius to make you feel inadequate.

Yellowstone mud puddles?

Chinese food that didn’t settle too well coming back to visit?

Dana Reeve Dies at 44 of Lung Cancer

I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose both parents by the age of 13. I further cannot imagine what it would be like to do that publically in front of the whole world.

I fear that celebrity in this situation can make things a thousand times more difficult than being able to work through grief in private.

“I’d rather be those ‘mind meld’ guys who can read other peoples’ thoughts.”
“Those are Vulcans.”
“No, they’re the other ones. Like that big ugly guy with the black hair and dark skin.”
“Warf? He’s a Clingon.”
“Yeah, he can do the read-the-minds thing.”
“No he can’t. That’s Vulcan thing.”
“Are you sure? How do you know?”
“Because I’ve watched like every episode of Star Trek that they made.”
(silence)
“Did you seriously just admit to that?”
(silence)
“I can’t believe it. My husband is a Trekkie.”
“Not the nerdy kind.”
