All right. I have a really good PP presentation, but did not have time to do a good handout with additional info. I have a really lousy handout with good info, but poorly written. Right now I'm leaning in the direction of no handout, they can go to the web site for more info. Does that make sense?

Skimming Natter I just saw the Things Younger than McCain website, which is amusing, but after reading the author's defense on why the site is not ageist I found myself uncomfortably disagreeing with him.
He argues that basically an older person may potentially suffer "Memory loss, Decreased stamina, Greater susceptibilty to illness, and Possible lack of ability to relate to the issues and concerns of the vast majority of younger Americans, And, of course, the increased likelihood of dying in office… throwing the country into temporary turmoil and placing a greater importance of the role of Vice President"
Does the author have objective bases for these broad generalizations? Is he saying that because many 72 year olds have some or all of these characteristics we should assume that McCain does to? Wouldn't I be justified in refusing to hire a 72 year old on the same bases as this list? What is ageism then?
Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What organizations employee 72 year olds? I suppose there are a lot of self-employed at that age. Plus, of course, politicians.
Also, airline pilots are limited to age 60. FWIW.

These custom moleskine covers are awesome, and several of them (like this one) make me think of various buffistas

I should probably consider changing my nickname entirely.
Connecticutie!
But I'm not in Connecticut anymore! Seriously, I have no idea what I would change my nick to. None. Maybe I should set up a suggestion box or a poll or something.

See? And I totally thought you'd be "Pixie"! Or is that too "cute"?

Pixie is one of my main nicknames, but I guess I worry that picking it for a nick here would sound like I think I'm the cutest thing ever. Pix, maybe.
