ita, if you need anything today, let me know okay? I would be happy to be your driver for the day. (I'm even planning on Portos later, if you are up to food.)
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

About Ayelet Waldman -- I didn't dislike with the column on loving her husband more than her kids, though I found it boring in the way a lot of mundane confessional writing is. But if she wants to share that about herself, okay, whatever.
But I did have a problem with the column saying she hopes her son will be gay (because then he'd shop with her), but not her daughters (because they'll judge her for shaving her legs). It just seemed like an inappropriate thing for a parent to say about their child in a public forum, and I can't explain it better than that.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.
"Stop the bigotry!" the demonstrator shouted as he hurled the liquid Thursday night during the program at Western Michigan University. The incident came just two days after another noted conservative, William Kristol, was struck by a pie during an appearance at a college in Indiana.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a dorky school exciting thing to share: For a class, I wrote a survey for my fellow students to take. It was sent out over email this morning, and I've already got 48 responses! I love online people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, Cowgirl! Go you with your mad survey skillz!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.
Salad dressing?? Is there some political content to roughage I don't know about? I mean, there is political theatre, and then there is "What I had in my fridge" theatre.
As for Ayelet Waldman, I am squirmy about all kinds of confessional writing, so I was made squirmy about her NYT column. Some people draw the curtain in different places from where I do. When I say potentially cruel or hurtful things about people who care about me, I change their names to Bob and Binky.
Which is not to say that the real people cannot tell that they are Bob and Binky, but I am all about the cloak of deniability. (And anyway, whoever said that thing about all novelists being traitors? Said it about novelists, so the Bob and Binky component is key.)

Go you with your mad survey skillz!
Hee! Except, I just went and looked at the individual responses and more than one person said they'd be willing to talk more, but didn't leave their name or contact info. Oops. Not sure if there was a way to avoid that, though.
