Barbara thought it was getting repetitive. I thought it jumped the shark midway through series one. Finding out that the late Cory Monteith, the male lead, had been not just a doper but an actual junkie pretty much sealed it for me. I had no desire to watch a dead junkie. And, like most straight guys, I don&#8217;t particularly like show tunes, which it seemed was all they were doing for the last several episodes we watched.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Science kit sales are picking up, although not to the extent I&#8217;d expected. We&#8217;re shipping kits at a 15 to 20 per week rate, which is accelerating. I&#8217;d hoped to be at a 30 kits\/week rate by late July or early August. Still, I guess I should be careful what I wish for. Shipping 15 or 20 kits a week is sustainable; shipping twice that would get very hectic very quickly.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16:01 &#8211; Barbara and I have started watching One Tree Hill, which revolves around two high-school basketball players and their extended families in small-town North Carolina.
