So last Saturday was a lazy day in the WE household. I mean, come on, what in the world is a newlywed couple supposed to do inside all day on a rainy Saturday in May???

I recently read an article in Time called “Ten Ideas Changing the World Right Now.” It was a fascinating read, but one of the 10 topics that stuck out to me was a term the author coined herself - amortality. She described this phenomenon as more than just an era of baby-boomers resisting the onset of age.

In the show, Tim Roth stars as a “human lie detector” that interprets human micro-expressions to bust bad guys.

One of the best things about the show is the fleeting images of famous people making the same expressions as the characters in the episode (i.e. Simon Cowel and Saddam Hussein showing “contempt,” Bill Clinton and OJ Simpson showing “shame,” and Barak Obama expressing “fear”)

It’s a super fascinating show and pretty entertaining as well.

So…just for fun, I thought I do a little analysis myself  (thanks for all the sweet shots – Mitch!)

So my last bird experience (see my post entitled “Ruffled Feathers”) inspired me to share my first Dallas Discovery.

So on Friday after work I was on my way over to WE’s. As I was minding my own business and just motorin’ along – I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Seconds later, I heard it.

SPLAT!
