You have been directed here thinking that this post has something to do with what you searched for.  Perhaps it was cool tennis balls, crazy trampoline sports, or the hottest gophers.  I’m just going out on a limb to say you did not type cool, crazy, or hottest in the search box alone.  Chances are, though, that your descriptor is a word on the left of this post.

I am conducting a test to see what sorts of words follow those adjectives.  It is in the world of the Internet that a blog post listing just “birds” does not keep the average user’s attention.  It is only by calling it the “coolest bird ever caught on video” does it seem to be worth a net surfer’s time.  I will post a follow up to this later.

Thanks to learnenglish.de for all the adjectives

Starting Sunday, I have to start babysitting my neighbor’s kid “Aaron” (I do not think I should use his actual name).  Aaron’s mother is going on a sort of vacation/retreat with a church group.  Thus, her son will stay home and I’ll keep an eye on him for the week.  I have a few duties as his babysitter:

  • Drop him off to day camp on my way to work
  • Pick him up after work
  • No TV (his mother is a very strict parent)
  • 9:00 is bedtime

He’s only eleven years old, and he knows how to cook his own dinner.  I’m quite impressed with him; he seems like a smart and, more importantly, a calm kid.
