This is perhaps my silliest reason to like Obama, but the word "ebullient" is used in a headline on his web page. That's the sort of word people complain about in my writing as being too hard. I like a campaign that enjoys language and doesn't think we're idiots.

- I am behind on email and almost all forms of communication. I am slowly catching up. Sorry and thanks for your patience.

- Patty and I have been enjoying the joys of the ice-cream maker. We had a mint-chocolate chip ice-cream last week, and I made a lime sherbet last night.

- I still haven't written about our awesome but weird dinner at Megu.

- I also still haven't written about my aunt.

- I finally put in my DragonCon app today.
