I am sold

Where can I get one of these? It even gets good gas mileage!

I found this whole video fascinating, not least because of Steve Saint. He reminds me of someone I can't quite place, and he strikes me as a very humble guy.

It's time to break the cycle

There's a stubborn epidemic persisting in the world today. One that would have been quashed decades ago if only people had had the good sense to listen to the "experts" and adapt instead of passing on outdated habits to younger, malleable generations.

Yes, my friends, I am talking about that haunting phenomenon creating "rivers" of white space on Web pages, memos, and e-mails all over the world--adding two spaces after a period. A habit born with the now mostly defunct monospaced type. Don't be a victim, my friends. I've been fighting this battle for years. So you can imagine how encouraged I was to see my convictions voiced in glorious, single-spaced print.

Learn, adapt, and for the love of future generations, please don't be responsible for passing on this epidemic to our innocent children.

Lovely

My lovely husband sent me lovely flowers today, so I wanted to show him a little love. I woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning (actually, Eddie woke me up on the wrong side of bed--three times), so Justin helped save the day!

And, it has only recently come to my attention that one should tip for flower delivery. I was still skeptical of this because flowers are so crazy expensive in the first place. So I didn't tip. And then I looked up whether this is customary. I guess the delivery people are usually independently contracted and often pay their own gas and other expenses. I was woefully ignorant. Forgive me, delivery woman, for not sharing the love. Am I the only one who was oblivious to this knowledge?

This behavior is not encouraged

But I couldn't resist the photo op.

Quote of the day (of this 2-month period, really)

"It's amazing how you just cease to function when I'm gone."
