Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Greg Laden's blog on Science Blogs has a nice bit on vaxes today:

flea, I'm so glad you're going to go on the Dublin trip -- first because it'll be a treat that you really really do deserve.

Oh, Trudy, if you're taking the T, I'm pretty sure Kenmore is the closest stop, but you have to cross over the turnpike to get to Lansdowne, which is sort of a hill? It's all sidewalk and fine for that, but I do think you have to go up and over.
Will you do magic tricks?
My son has a couple of magic tricks he does. He's particularly fond of jabbing a pencil through his tongue. For obvious reasons.
Is that why they weren't attending? Not enough trickery? The subject matter expert didn't show, so I had to pretend I knew what I was talking about. Yikes.
