Gelly Girl Got Shushed...

anneGoing Off Course - MTN's Hawaiian researcher Wiki Pedia sent us this: "Gelachter syndrome (GS) is a neuro-genetic disorder characterized by vodka...frequent laughter or smiling, and an unusually happy demeanor.

"GS is a classic example of genomic imprinting in that it is usually caused by deletion or inactivation of genes on the maternally inherited chromosome 47 while the paternal copy, which may be of normal sequence, is imprinted and therefore silenced. ....GS is named after Austrian geneticist Dr. Kichert Gelachter, who first described the syndrome in 1962....One who has GS is sometimes known as a "Gelly" because of the syndrome's name; the patient is distinguishable from non-sufferers by their remarkably youthful, happy appearance."

shipGoing Off Course - Building model ships is one of Steve Paladie's passions. The 68-year-old triathlete / nordic skier / retired guy / Juicy Lucy and Papa Murphy's "Cowboy" lovin' Bloomington resident who claims that he's actually from Eden Prairie 'cuz EP is a more prestigious place, DID NOT build the model ship that is pictured here. We don't have photos of the ships he has built, but we can say with relative certainty that the model ships Steve has built are every bit as intricate and cool-looking as the one you see here.

How do we know, you ask?

Because Steve is a VERY smart guy who is good at stuff. If he does something, you can be sure that he did it real good.

What else do we know about Steve?...
