Interesting sid note, Neil. The boss's favorite restaurant is the Good Egg. I'll have to try the banana burrito next time he takes us there.

Uh, honey, I think Neil was making a joke because he knew that already.

What? I'm missing something. How would Neil know that already? And, what was the occasion for the dinner out with the boss?

I feel really dumb. I don't get your speech impediment joke.

no joke here. I can't say funky combinations of the letter r with sounds like "oa" or "oy."
Rolls Royce? Not for me.
Troy? Royce? Roy? It was pretty much a guarantee I would not be marrying a guy with such a name.
Roaring Fork? The food is delicious, but the name is a bear.

Ahc, I bought you a baby gift today. Can't wait to see you to give it to you.

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t...

This is a story about heroes

Last night while reading in bed, I developed a hankering for sweets: specifically, cookies or cake. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something. So I said, "Steve, I really want some cake. Or a cookie. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something." Then I added, "Why don't you call the Fattalehs and ask them if they have any cookies at their house." In very uncharacteristic fashion, my husband picked up his phone and asked, "What's the number?" I told him and he dialed something else and got the wrong number, and then I told him again and he dialed right the second time. He then got David on the phone and asked if they had anything sweet that we could come get because I felt like eating something sweet. Jami the hero always has delicious offerings at her house that she has made and that she is willing to magnanimously share with others, so David the hero said, "We do! We have brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We'll ...
