Owen is a good speller, mang. Frances is a funny speller
Leif is a great speller, he's becoming a tough scrabble opponent. I think obsessive playing of Bookworm Adventures really honed his spelling ability.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

I really dread the day my kids can beat me at scrabble. Which, at this rate, will be next week.

Well, not too many brothers hanging out north of the 49° line. The last time I checked, about 2/3 of professional hockey players on American teams were Canadians.
It's also an expensive game...all that equipment,hockey registrations, and travel tournaments can run into a couple of grand a year, even for a casual player. It also requires a big time commitment for parent's so if not from a culture that appreciates hockey, they may not be so willing to get their kids into it (or they won't push their kids into it).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh. I don't feel great. I wish I could have stayed home today.

Sorry you're not feeling well, Dana.
ION, I'm following the health care bill situation and I now feel like I have little idea how it will turn out. I don't get the feeling that the runaway costs are going to be reined in by it, but I think it would still be better than nothing.
Kit Bond (my senator) kinda made me go huh? last night on TDS. Medicare costs too much and needs to reimburse at higher rates? The latter might be true, but I don't see how that will help the former. I am also dubious that private plans would work better, I've never heard of private plans having lower overhead than Medicare.

I may have to seize the cat.
I am making muffin-sized quiches. I thought you should know.

that sounds nicer than "meat muffins"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't care what anyone thinks, my meat muffins are delicious. I had another one last night!
My mother was just telling me about something Giada made muffin-size, I think with penne and sausage or something?
EVERYTHING MUFFIN SIZE!!

Once you go down the "Est a muffin whitey!" road, there's no way to turn back.
