Vickie and I don’t exactly work a normal Mon-Fri week, but we have a kid in school, which means we feel the same way about Mondays as pretty much everybody else does.  So we figured we’d lighten Mondays up a bit with our new series starting today, called Peter & Vickie’s Laws of Life.  LOL for short 🙂  Why, you ask, does Peter get top Billing for this series when Vickie has it for the posts?  Well I’m writing the first one in the series, so I get to name it.
Last week I mentioned one of my heroes, Richard Feynman, in this post about Will Hunt’s Cape Ann Rocks for the Rockaways benefit, which raised over $300 for victims of Superstorm Sandy.
Feynman was one of the world’s greatest theoretical physicists, so I thought we’d start the series off with an LOL loosely based on a law of nature, namely Antoine Lavoisier‘s Law of Conservation of Mass, which, simply put, states that mass in never created or destroyed; it just gets rearranged or converted into energy.  So here’s the LOL corollary:
You’re more likely to gain weight if someone you know is losing weight. Â According to Lavoisier, all that weight people lose HAS to go SOMEWHERE, right? Â So if your wife complains that you’re getting fat this holiday season, ask your her to STOP LOSING WEIGHT. Â It only makes it harder for you.
Next Monday, we’ll have another LOL. Â Until then enjoy a week of good food, good music and good friends — and encourage everybody to eat as much as they like.
Good Morning Gloucester
