Yes, but try spelling it 500 times and it won't seem so cool. Also it doesn't sound mellifluous.

I get this problem, honest!

And it really doesn't, does it? Not with your first name, at least.

eta--we're probably related to that Ken guy. My grandfather was one of 11 kids. I don't know any of that side of the family, as he only spoke to 3 of them.

I find him fascinating: [link]

Paul used to work with him, and back in the day, when I'd go collect our car from the lot, he and the news director were almost always out there smoking and cracking dirty jokes to each other.

Daisy, are they truly that indecisive, or just idiotic?

I have no freaking idea. Home now, but I feel bad for my coworker who is going over a nasty over pass, probably right now at rush hour.

I think it started out "They should go home early so they aren't driving icy roads at night, let them leave at 4." Then at noon or so it got bad, so they thought, "Oooh, maybe sooner since it's getting rough." Then it slowed down so they thought, "I shouldn't let them go too early if it's over." Then it started up again, and we were at lather, rinse repeat.

I've known quite a few "Robert Roberts", but they usually went by nicknames for the first name (Bobby, Robby, Bob, Junior...).

I wish I had changed my name to keep my maiden name as a middle name, instead of dropping it altogether.

My mom had kept her middle name when she married my dad because he liked the idea that they both had the same initials (he's Karl Albert, she's Kathleen Agnes) even though she really hates her middle name. A few years after they were divorced, she finally got around to changing the middle name to her maiden one.

Happy birthday, Emeline!!

I've spent my PTO day finishing putting up my Christmas tree. I'm thrilled to find out I've got more ornaments than I thought, so it looks nice and full. I've got gifts for almost everyone on my list figured out, even though I have to wait to buy them until next Friday. I've even gotten a hold of a cat-sitting service to come in and take care of Amarna while I'm at my mom's for the holidays. I'm really on top of this Christmas thing, and it's not even December yet!

There are a significant number of people who appear not to know or care that I was Vice President of the United States, but who are very tuned into the fact that I uttered the immortal line, “I have ridden the mighty moonworm.”

All hail King Gore, because he is glorious.

I ripped another shirt. This is ricockulous.

This time I was out. At lunch. Bent my arm to bring the drink to my lips and there it goes! Rips right across the elbow.

I really liked the shirt too. Lovely shade of purple.

Another one bites the dust.

Right now I feel sufficiently old that changing my name is not something I see doing. Or even, really, it coming up.

Not that I am old. I just feel that way.

Very lightheaded. Must lie down.

Wow, they've really sexied up the Incredible Hulk for the new era, huh? Shame about the clothes, though.

I think Eleanor Roosevelt was Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt (she and FDR were cousins. Also I think her first name wasn't Eleanor - maybe Anna?)

I learned XHTML today so now I finaly know what "nbsp" means.

Yep. She was born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt.

Just looked at the regional weather radar--looks like this storm is going to completely avoid the northern 'burbs up here! Considering I still haven't bought my boots for this year yet, I'm glad.

I also learned there are Unicode codes for Linear B! Unfortunately I could not get either IE or Firefox to render them, assuming I was using them right.
