btw, is "Friend of Dorothy," "Family" or "Betty" still used in gay culture? I feel so out of touch these days....

A youngish (maybe mid-30s) cab driver in Vegas this summer asked my lady bandmates and I if we were "family" but I thought it was kind of an old-fashioned term.

Hivemind: is there a standard conversion of words to minutes when you're writing a speech? I need to write a 15-minute talk (that will not actually be delivered), and have no idea what ballpark to be thinking about in terms of word or page count.

Soup's cooking. And it's really easy to make, too!

I think the rule of thumb is two minutes a double-spaced page.
