My first though was that it was some weird auto-correct snafu and it meant Navy Seals. I googled it anyway, turns out the Navy Seabees are the construction arm of the Navy (I presume analogous to the Army Corps of Engineers), and it gets the name from the initials for "Construction Brigade".

I can't wait until that knowledge becomes useful, most likely to make me feel all knowledgeable and superior while watching Jeopardy or playing Trivial Pursuit.

Finished my back to back half marathons last weekend at WDW. Weather was really nice. Now I have a bad cold that I caught there.

Two Old School Padders are in the February Real Simple magazine. There is a terrific picture and an article about them.

Hey, we know someone famous!
