File this under: I had no idea, did you?

In my travels, often speaking to groups about blogging, I meet lots of fine folks...many of whom start blogs and send me the URLs. Inevitably I learn something new just by scanning the first page of their blog. All these different people. All their different inspirations.

This week was no different. After retuning from a very hectic trip to NYC, someone I met sent me her brand spanking new blog: NY Muse.

After perusing just the first page, I learned something entirely new: The Purpose of a Penny

I love tulips. I love that they're a flower that keeps growing after you cut them and put them in water. But they aren't particularly long-lived; they do start to droop.

Well, according to NY Muse, not if you throw a few pennies in the vase!

45 years old, and I am still learning something new every day!
