Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

Valiant Dancer, an interesting note on the Wiggles. They were originally an 80's rockband called "The Cockroaches" who had minor success over here with a one hit wonder that I can't even remember. The Wiggles was formed nigh on 10 years ago and they are now the highest grossing Australian entertainers in the world. Surpassing Kidman, Crowe, silverchair and all other popular acts.

They might look stupid in their skivvies, but they are lauging all the way to the bank.

Edited for spelling again

No doubt. My 20 month old is enamored of them. I'm just having trouble getting those songs out of my head. They hooked up with Disney, so it's not likely that the songs from the 80's will resurface anytime soon.

One of my company's Australian managers sat next to a Wiggle on the flight home from a meeting in US. His family met him at the airport and his 3.5 year old son got to meet a Wiggle in person and get an autograph. Approx. 200,000 cool dad points awarded. (Points expire when son turns 13 and only demerits can accrue for the next 7 years.)

I'm all for it, but lets just bypass all that non-essential stuff and go straight on to the rape and pillage!
