Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Because books.

I just realized mine is ... from ninth grade. I won it for some essay. Oops. And yet e-mail is in there! Wow.

Interesting to hear all the scar/injury stories. I don't have anything dramatic - mostly the dings from day to day living.

Although Hil's shock from alfredo sauce had potential - I was envisioning something involving a dish of electric eels, which led to her becoming vegan. This may be the first time my imagination's been more interesting than reality.

That's because ninth grade wasn't that long ago.

WTF? That's just . . . weird.

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

Yay Allyson!!

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

This seems like it might be an interesting read. [link]

The paradox is this: Cultural conservatives revel in condemning the loose moral values and louche lifestyles of "San Francisco liberals." But if you want to find two-parent families with stable marriages and coddled kids, your best bet is to bypass Sarah Palin country and go to Nancy Pelosi territory: the liberal, bicoastal, predominantly Democratic places that cultural conservatives love to hate.

...

Naomi Cahn and June Carbone -- family law professors at George Washington University and the University of Missouri (Kansas City), respectively -- suggest that the apparent paradox is no paradox at all. Rather, it is the natural consequence of a cultural divide that has opened wide over the past few decades and shows no sign of closing. To define the divide in a sentence: In red America, families form adults; in blue America, adults form families.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray, Allyson!!!
