Only six weeks (or five with change?) -- yay!
In other news, my back is still seized up. I think I will be seeing the chiropractor today.
I think I threw it out playing with my hosts' Wii, which surprised me by being really REALLY great.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Someone's word in Round 4 of the spelling bee was erinaceous, and they got it wrong. clearly, it wasn't a buffista or child of a buffista.

According to erinaceous' dictionary, erinaceous is not a word, but ericaceous is.

From Sam Brownback's op-ed in the NYT:
While no stone should be left unturned in seeking to discover the nature of man’s origins, we can say with conviction that we know with certainty at least part of the outcome. Man was not an accident and reflects an image and likeness unique in the created order. Those aspects of evolutionary theory compatible with this truth are a welcome addition to human knowledge. Aspects of these theories that undermine this truth, however, should be firmly rejected as an atheistic theology posing as science.
I don't have a problem with people who believe in God and believe that God has a purpose for us, however, I do have a problem with Mr. Brownback asserting that we know man was not an accident. A big problem. In fact, Mr. Brownback made me growl at my computer monitor. After I have my coffee, I may roar.
I love the book cover, Allyson! It is printed and posted on my office door in my library.

Our boss brought in brownies which are amazing. But it makes me wonder what she wants from us.
