After the school's IQ screening it looks like Leif will be recommended for the gifted program. We're still thinking if taking him out of his regular class for one day a week for the program will be better for him than a day in class. He's already skipped a grade (two grades for math) so his classwork is already advanced for his age.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Go brainy Leif! Don't forget to socialize and tackle things and create mayhem!
According to a poll conducted in 2007, 54 percent of Icelanders don't deny the existence of elves and 8 percent believe in them outright, although only 3 percent claim to have encountered one personally.
See, that's like regular whackaloon percentages. UFOists and suchlike.
Happy birthday, Tommyrot! I hope you're ambushed by a roaming herd of affectionate hairless cats.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have a kitty!
Awww... what a cutie!

C Cilantro M Mayo F Olives, because I have to test the various olives I encounter, and not all are up to my standards, so I don't want to be stuck with an unsatisfactory olive. Plant foods are so difficult about signing prenups.

C cilantro, f mayo, and m olives, because I've never met an olive I didn't like. Mayo I don't need at every meal. I don't hate cilantro, but I could live without it pretty happily.

Ideally, an olive should be stuffed with blue cheese and put in a martini....

Yeah, try doing that with mayo or cilantro. It just doesn't work.

Mayo is only tolerable to me in very small amounts with pickle & pimento loaf, or as one of the components of tuna salad or chicken salad.

Happy birthday, tommyrot! May the internets be full of particularly weird news just for you.
I would be sad if Leif gave up mayhem, but his brilliance has been obvious for some time.
M: cilantro, F: olives, C: mayonnaise, except for brief encounters in chicken and potato salad and homemade mayonnaise, which is an entirely different food. You mayonnaise people can chuck all your cilantro in my direction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
C Olives
F Cilantro
M Mayo
Though the F and the M was close.
