Things I Don't Understand, Part Two

Here are some more things I don't understand...

ABC4Kids - Official Power Rankings

As a parent, you start with strong principles, and gradually erode them. So on watching TV, we were of the view it would be none to minimal. Then it was a small amount each day as part of a routine. Now it's whenever they are hysterically upset, fighting each other, hysterically upset because they're fighting each other, or we need to do something uninterrupted - it can be anything from 30 minutes to all the time, daily.

So I've watched a lot of ABC4Kids and feel confident in the accuracy of the following power rankings. 

You can feel confident in the ratings too, knowing this is a scientific endeavour with a rigorous mathematical scoring system. 

I used three equally-weighted criteria, on a 0-3 scale.

Places I've Eaten, Part One

I really enjoy food. I'm one of those people that talks about food texture and complimentary flavours and so on. I often pick places to do various things based on what is available to eat nearby. I can't leave anything on my plate even if full, because there are starving kids in Africa and also because of gluttony. I understand quinoa. I pretend to understand kale.

So I'm one of those people. A wanker foodie.

Once you have children you don't get out as much, but recently I've had a couple of interesting dining experiences that I thought I'd share. I probably have enough material for a dozen articles like this.

NRL Ladder Prediction

With the NRL season just under 24 hours away from kicking off, I thought I'd make an attempt at predicting the final ladder.

Review: A Day at Taronga Zoo

On Saturday we went to the zoo. It was the kids second zoo experience, but first with us (the grandparents got in early).

Did they enjoy it?

Inconclusive.
