Miscellanea

  • I have two items currently checked out of the library titled "Spellbound." One is a recent documentary about spelling bees and the other is a book about the "surprising origins and astonishing secrets of English spelling" ("Why doesn't 'cough' rhyme with 'dough'? Why don't we spell words the way they sound? Is there a rhyme and reason to the English language?") Yeah. I'm not a nerd at all.
  • Thanks to Lindsay, the original wacky hat is now back in my posession. Now, how to work Uncle Sam into my duck tour?
  • For all of you keeping tabs, the Speedster's odometer now reads 1375.9.
  • Emily Saliers (1/2 of the Indigo Girls, for all of you who aren't quite as obsessed) jogged right past me the other day as I was showing my parents the Seattle waterfront.
