Thursday Forecast/Chocolate Options/Burger King Benefits

HURRICANES AND WEATHER
For Houston, stationary front is hanging around on the coast. Until the next cold front arrives Friday afternoon, there is a slight chance for showers. It will be mild and a bit muggy on Thursday with highs in the 70s.

Much of the country will be wet on Thursday with showers and thunderstorms for the eastern states and wintry weather over the Rockies and extreme northern sections of the North Dakota and Minnesota and possibly Michigan.

SPANISH WORD OF THE DAY
The word is chocolate...my favorite food. And it is a food, sort of. Anyway in Spanish it is still spelled chocolate, but it is pronounced cho-co-LAH-tay. I have some good news for all chocolate lovers.

There are many ways to expose your children to another language. One way is to send them to a country where the other language is spoken. I have a friend who sends who daughters to Colombia every summer. They stay with their grandparents, have a ball, and really learn Spanish. Obviously, most of us don't have such options. But you can still expose your little ones to another language.

AND MORE
Okay, here is the good news for chocolate lovers. Many of our favorite chocolate candies are being offered in dark chocolate form...like Hersheys kisses and there is even a variety park of semisweet to dark chocolate for those miniature candy bars. As you may have read, dark chocolate has anti-oxidants. I won't go into the fact that the fat content can get in the way. Basically the darker the better. Enjoy!

Until tonight, I had not been inside a Burger King for a very long time. Well, Sarah and I were in one tonight--her idea. They had a touch screen interactive game system and a WiFI room with at least one computer that actually worked. And there was no one in there. I was amazed. I think we will be be frequenting Burker King a lot more often.

Happy Thursday everyone!
