I was just musing! Carry on, doom-sayers. Or -bringers, whichever.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Wolfram! How is the new baby? And her older siblings? Did they wear costumes yesterday?
She's great, and her older siblings had a great time dressing up as (in age order) Supergirl, Princess, and a Torah. They fight crime.
Sorry I've been superlurker, but I'm trying to cram a month's worth of work into my last two weeks here.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Supergirl, Princess, and a Torah.
With that last one, great way to garner some VIP treatment. Very smart thinking.

OK, I *just* figured out there are latin prefixes in the last 4 months' names. I'm feeling amazingly dim. I've probably been told this before, but it sure didn't stick. And I guess I'm glad, because I can only imagine how confused I might've been as a kindergartener or first grader. "But why is it the twelfth month if its name means ten?"

It still confuses me when October isn't the 8th month. Which is, you know, all the time!

In Jamaica we don't have much weather--the temperatures are pretty constant, as are the thunderstorms.
Can you set your watch by them? "Here comes the 3:00pm thunderstorm...."
Yeah, but there's not much difference between the Julian and the Gregorian.
Well, they would really have noticed if their year was only 10 months long. I think July and August were renamed from something else, not added in.
Except that the Julian calendar wasn't the same as a year, so as time went on, it was getting more and more out of whack, hence the need for the Gregorians to fix it (at least, that's my understanding), so who knows when JC's March came.

Hi Nilly!
Purim Sameach!
I have no hamentashen, but my mother just called from the grocery store to ask what kind of hamentaschen I like, so I suspect I'll have some soon.
Supergirl, Princess, and a Torah. They fight crime.
That sounds so cute.
And, um possibly not work appropriate, but a Purim video that's been cracking me up all week: [link]

Gideon Oliver was brilliant but cancelled? Really? Huh.
