I had to think a moment about the name, too, then thought it was just clever, as in what do you get when you kindle something? You get fire. It never occurred to me to think about burning books.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Punishingly Intricate
Not that I think the devices themselves are evil or the people who use them! Obviously!

Thank you Anne; one load in, bringing the rest out now, then hauling boxes out to sort through office crap and throw away what I can...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We've been rained in on a Sunday. So I took the bus to TJ's and got Le Grande Indulgence, aka Brie en Croute. I only dare serve it a few times a year as I fear I'm applying plaque directly to the artery walls of my loved ones. But it's so good.
I need some fancy hot chocolate now.

The status is NOT quo.
One of the screensavers on the original old Kindle, which I have, is about the definition of “kindle”: [link]

I don’t think they ever intended the book-burning association, and it honestly never occurred to me until this conversation. (Not to say that I don’t see what you’re saying now, but I truly never once thought of that.)

Trust my rage
One of the downsides of being pregnant - near constant heartburn. I don't think I've had meal other than cereal in the last two weeks that didn't make me feel ill.
