My Dad, the praying mantis or rather the Result of Praying, mantis

First let me veer widely from the title and congratulate Dr. Watson on his publication, "Telithromycin (Ketek) faces obstacles" published in the medical journal Evidence-Based Practice. It is somewhat esoteric as all good journal articles are, but an important contribution to the medical body of knowledge. Good job, Dr. Watson.




Now, I will engage in some esoterica of my own. Remember the first sighting of a praying mantis in August 2004. This, the third summer, has brought some significant sightings. Joe's family, myself, and yesterday Jennica. They seem to appear magically after a certain kind of plea. The above is Jen's. Mine is below.


Way to go, Dad.
For my grandchildren--esoteric means you have to have special knowledge about the subject being discussed in order to fully understand.

Nice pictures, Norris. Did I ever tell you about the time I was mowing your lawn (it would have been late August or September 2004) when a praying mantis came flying out of nowhere and landed on my chest?

I do not think you told me about that. So, it adds to our body of evidence.
