Hi Kids,

I dunno about you, but I am a slob. A big one. Yessiree. And I drop food all the time on me, on the desk, on te cat and of course, the floor. I live by the five second rule.
And did you know, the five second rule no longer applies?
Yeah, amazing, innit?
Scientists ran tests on foods dropped on floor spaces smeared with E Coli and found dry food can safely lurk on the floor for a minute before causing your brain to explode (or at least make you feel very, very sick) and wet foods (like a nice slicea pie) only about thirty seconds.
The rule doesn't seem to apply to my dog who thrives on the five year rule, apparently, judging by the way she snuffles for truffles in every corner of every tree, blade of grass and - inexplicably - the wheels on garbage bins.
So that should make you happy.
Drop, wait, eat and enjoy.
Back to the writing grind....

Aloha oe,

A.J.
