On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Go, Nilly, go!!

Did you get any sleep at all last night?

Eeek -- I've also been getting your all-nighter (and now into an all-dayer for you) in compressed FF style, Nilly. Rest-ma to you when you can!

Jon Stewart was back on TV with a new episode of The Daily Show last night, so all is better in my little world....

Nilly! Guess what? In a couple of summers, I'm going to be in Israel! The school that just hired me out in LA is a private Jewish high school, and they send any of the their faculty who are interested over to Israel to expand their understanding of Jewish history and culture. It's a ways off, yet, but I'm excited!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Kristin! Go you! That's wonderful news.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Big crazy move, Kristin! Congratulations!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Congratulations, Kristin!

Eek, you just reminded me that I have about seventy things to do before I go to Israel that I haven't done yet.

Today, I am continuing my quest for a dress to wear to a friend's wedding. My plan was, if I couldn't find something that was modest enough on it's own, I'd find a dress that was long enough and with a high enough neckline, but sleeveless, and then wear a sweater or a jacket over it, but just about everything in the stores this season is way too low-cut.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats, Kristin!

Awesome news, Kristin, even if you'll be far away from the Somervillains.
