The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

unthaw

Doesn't this mean re-freeze?

Or is thaw/unthaw the same sort of pairing as flammable/inflammable?

Blah. I was mostly frozen. It makes my English ungood.

I think HBO is showing it. I'm listening on NPR as I clean. Or cleaned. Done now.

I kinda love that a free concert for DC means you get a crash history/civics course as par for the course. That's my kinda geekiness.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Shout was not a song I expected to hear as part of an inaugural concert.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to the Mall to watch for a while, but couldn't see anything. The Jumbotrons were not set up very well -- not high enough, so almost nobody could see anything. I stayed and listened for a while, though.

I don't have HBO and it doesn't look like my cable provider is being so nice as to offer it free today. Ah, well.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is this the concert that Fall Out Boy is playing in? They are in some "youth" inaugural concert.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Go for morning virtuousity!

We were able to drag the virtues into the early afternoon as Emmett, Matilda and I walked down to Haight Street to go to the bookstore. Virtue was discarded at the cafe where Emmett had an apple Danish and Matilda had a madeleine and I got more coffee. This seemed to merely whet their appetites though since it was followed by a non-virtuous stop at the pizza place where Emmett and Matilda split a slice.

But then a longish (toddlerish, dawdlerish) walk to the bookstore where Emmett bought Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3: The Last Straw and Matilda declared that the teeny, tiny, just right for her hands, Eric Carle book (Favorite Words) was going home with her.

She conked out on my shoulder on he way home and is napping on the couch. Emmett's got his nose deep into the book.

Compassionately intolerant

I hate to overstate this, but now may be the first time in my adult life when I believe 'This Land Is MyLand" actually applies to me.
