Oh, man, I keep forgetting to mention that we ate at Consuela's brother's restaurant in Chicago when we were there the week before xmas and it was freaking awesome!!! And he came over to say hi to us and was just lovely. Our food snob friends we were with were VERY impressed.

Hey, what's a word for someone who gets easily distracted and flits from thing to thing? It's like a bird or an insect or something? It's possible I'm making it up. I know it's not magpie, and it doesn't seem to be mayfly. I want it to be an m word, apparently. Any ideas?

If you say this about ANYTHING except a hot air balloon, a smack is totally called for.
What about an elevator??
