That Sinking Feeling

So my daughter was relaxing after homework and was watching some insipid program on the Disney Channel when I said something that made her immediately switch to the Weather Channel for an hour. Yes, she watched the weather channel for an hour. What, you may ask, would make a nine year old abandon the Disney Channel for MTV for geezers? Why When Weather Changed History, of course. Tonight's program was on the Titanic. To say that my daughter is into the history of the Titanic, is an understatement. Robert Ballard's interest in the ship pales in comparison to that of Kim's. When she grows up and has children she will probably give them names like Harland and Wolff, Southampton, Titanic, White Star, or Iceberg. She even drew a picture of the Titanic during the program, and exclaimed "Darn it!" when it was over.
