A Moment of Inertia, of Sorts

"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." -- Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion

Keisha and I spent this morning watching PBS Kids on channel 16 here in Dayton.

At 6:30 AM she woke up and came downstairs to watch the yoga program. At 7 Arthur came on. At 7:30 it was Clifford the Big Red Dog (whose voice is that of the late John Ritter, in fact). At 8 AM we watched Dragon Tales. At 8:30 it was Caillou. Somehow we both made it through the 9 AM showing of Teletubbies. Maybe it's because Keisha was waiting for Barney, which came on at 9:30.

At 10 AM Sesame Street came on. At 11 there were two instructional programs: the first was one about drawing with crayons without lines showing the border of objects. The second one was a physics professor, who taught us about inertia (that whole "a body at rest wants to remain at rest" thing).

At 11:30 Between the Lions, one of my current favorites, came on. I like it because it teaches reading in a really fun way. Today the focus was on the short "a" sound. At noon I decided that Keisha and I needed to get going with the rest of our day.
