Good luck, Beth!

I'm back, showered, shorn, and more or less exhausted. I'll have more on the trip at a later date, though. I don't have enough juice in me to even offer a Reader's Digest version, but suffice to say it was a good time.

But enough about me, it's time to talk about Beth. Long before this time tomorrow, Beth will have soundly beaten the crap out of Science. She will have punched Science in its withered, old, white man's genitals over and over until it vomits up a Ph.D. for her. (I've never been to a Ph.D. thesis defence before, but it goes something like that as is my understanding.) Good luck, Beth. You rule!

(And love to Sarah, who's over there to witness it all.)

A complex phrase, in which the various parts are enchained

“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found.
