A kiss may be just a kiss, but there's a lot going on behind those lips. Here are 10 findings about our puckers from Psychology Today:
- Lips flush darker during romantic excitement.
- Kissing drives up our bodies' levels of oxytocin, which promotes attachment and bonding between smoochers.
- Men like bigger, sloppier kisses than women because their sense of taste and smell is less keen.
- Gals prefer guys with medium size lips full enough to convey compassion and friendliness, but not so plump as to appear feminine.
- The novelty of kissing a new person may release dopamine in our body, which encourages romantic love.
- Guys are attracted to large, naturally full lips on women because they signal good health and youth.

Today is ‘National Dance Day’ –
How can I describe my dancing? It’s like a cross between Bojangles…and Bo Schembecher!
I know I went into the break room this morning and BOB was on the floor spinning around like a top. I said, “Wow, great moves.” It turns out he had slipped on some spilled coffee.
A three hour ballet is roughly the equivalent of two back-to-back soccer games in terms of energy expended.

Ballet artists really are athletes. A male dance can lift up to 1 ½ tones of ballerinas over the course of a performance.
-Obviously not all at once!!
The Chicken Dance was created by a Swiss accordion player in the 1950’s and originally called ‘The Duck Dance’. When it was performed for the first time in the US, at a Tulsa Oktoberfest ...

BOB & I thought you might enjoy these Sleep facts:
12% of people can only dream in black & white.
-It’s known as ‘dream-noir’
Giraffes sleep less than two hours a day…usually in five to ten minute naps.
-That’s because when they’re lying down – they can’t reach up to adjust the pillow.
You can only dream faces that you’ve seen before – even if you don’t remember them. Your brain cannot make up faces.
-Apparently I’ve run into some really scary-looking people.

- Golfer: I've played so poorly all day, I think I'm going to go drown myself in the lake. Caddy: I doubt you could keep your head down that long.
- Golfer: I'd move heaven and earth to be able to break 100 on this course. Caddy: Try heaven. You've already moved most of the earth.
- Golfer: Well I've never played this badly before! Caddy: I didn't realize you had played before, sir.
- Golfer: Caddy, do you think my game is improving? Caddy: Oh yes, sir! You miss the ball much closer than you used to.
- Golfer: This golf is a funny game. Caddy: It's not supposed to be.
- Golfer: That can't be my ball, it looks far too old. Caddy: It's a long time since we started, sir.
- Golfer: Do you think I can get there with a 5-iron? Caddy: Eventually.
Golfer: ...
