Word of the Day:
Enraptured - to be delighted beyond measure.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Fact:
If you ever tell a goldfish a secret that you don't want anyone else to know about, you won't have to worry about it for long... a goldfish only has a 3 second memory span.

Fact About the Day:
On June 26, 1870, America's first beachfront boardwalk opened in Atlantic City, New Jersey. By 1870, Atlantic City had already become a popular winter spa and summer resort. Alexander Boardman brought about the idea of constructing a boardwalk to help keep sand out of hotels and railroad cars. For many years, at the end of the summer season the boardwalk would be taken apart and stored for the winter.
