I have a client whose last name is "de la O". It's sort of confusing.

Huh, I've heard a song about "Maria de la O"...

Because once they start, they consume you.

It eats you, starting with your bottom.

Wait, does that mean Google is the First Evil?

Happy New House, Kate!

I work with a PhD named Kenneth K. O and this seems to confuse everyone - I always have to correct references to "Dr. K. O. Kenneth".

I also sometimes work with a professor with only one name. Our xml software cannot handle it. It wants first name/last name.

It would be really cool to only have one name and have it be your surname.

I bought road trip food. I am ready to go to Kentucky! Well, tomorrow is Ohio, then the next day is Kentucky. And I haven't packed my suitcase yet. But I have food! (I'm not always certain about what vegan options will be on the road, so I generally stock up on Larabars and things like that. This time, I noticed that the grocery store had these things called GoPicnic, which is a whole shelf-stable meal in a box. There are a few different kinds, and one is vegan -- it has crackers, hummus, nuts and dried fruit, and a piece of chocolate.)

Can you do that????

Phil legally changed his name to Ultraman. Then legally changed it back after he had a California Driver's license that declared him to be Ultraman.

I was feeling very discouraged about breakfast because our cupboard is bare, but decided that Jacques Pepin would not punk out while there were still eggs in the fridge. And I remembered that JZ had a lot of fresh dill left over from making Tzatziki, so I made a proper French Omelet with fresh dill. (The kind where you work it in the pan the whole time until it's creamy inside and serve it in a sort of cigar shape.)

Really good.

I got a compliment today on a necklace Kat bought me. Most of the time when I wear this I get complimented. Good choice, Kat, and thank you!

Scientifically speaking, I have found dragonflies get more compliments.

Oh, man. I should have changed my name when I became a citizen.

I did, obviously, ask if they could force lower case. They could not.

proper French Omelet

Mmm- I would love to find a place that does these for breakfast or brunch, instead of the giant overstuffed monstrosities. (each to their own, but I don't tend to enjoy them.)

What Would Jacques Do? is an excellent life philosophy.

One of the teachers at my kids' school goes legally by only her surname. She's hella cool.

I am so ready for summer to be over. My kids are driving me nuts.
