In other news, my students report they have a twitter hashtag for me. #FearGullo. I'm not sure I how I feel about this.

I think it's fantastic.

Went to a conservatory performance thing that included a dance piece inspired by interviews including my mom (who were projected on screens). The evening was wildly uneven and went too late, but overall good. I still wish we had left at intermission, though! Am old.

ugh. That article. I backread some of the motherlode blog today. And there is nothing more precious or rarefied as parenting in NY as covered by the NYT.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Still, even the most ardent practitioners observe some limits. “I don’t think you can walk down Fifth Avenue and just let your baby poop on the sidewalk,” she said.

And that right there is the difference between the US and the diaperless societies they're venerating.

According to emergency.mit.edu, shots have been fired in a very prominant MIT building. Atlantic Wire reports that there's an officer down and the gun person is on the loose.

I'm done.
