And I know it's you knocking around in there
In no particular order—
1. I have been Spontaneously Spotted! I feel like some sort of rare species.
2. Today is my father's birthday non-observed. Last night I made a hazelnut cake; today it gets whipped cream, strawberries, and that very dark chocolate icing that is basically cacao with a little butter to make it pliable. I believe we are taking him to Za for dinner. Mostly I got him books.
3. This is the best poem about the Odyssey I've seen in a long time.
4.
heliopsis has coined an excellent word.
5. The trees are budding. It's not snowing yet.

It's one of the kind that makes me wonder why I even bother, but I'm always glad to find those in the world.
And what a good word, though I take issue with the usage (the Tea Party is not, in my view, cutting anything arbitrarily, they are deliberately trying to prevent the government from protecting the rights of those on whose rights the Tea Partiers would like to infringe), but alas.
Very sadly, I think it's a very useful word.
And many more birthdays to your father! Cheers!
Thank you! I'll pass the good wishes on!
