How many of us mailed our cereal box tops & hard-earned allowances to places unknown in order to stare at a small, plastic aquarium of sorts in the hopes that we would be the first to observe the Sea Monkeys in all their undersea glory?
Only to be underwhelmed at the sight of brine shrimp undulating in the fetid water before us?
Or, were you of the sort who thrilled at the sight of anything at all?
How did these beings appear? What were they really?
Who am I to scorn the magic of life?
As media tempts and taunts us with promises of amazing, sensational sorts, there is a lesson here that we can all be skeptics and yet maintain our ability to be amazed.
It is a lesson we take seriously here on
