- Beginning July 16, I will be embarking on The Quest.
- Louis C.K. is currently the funniest thing on the tube.
- Email from the husband --
Husband: Mmmmm, I’m gonna Higgs your bosun.
Me: Is that code for something?
Husband: Mmmmm, I’m gonna code your something.
(note: Higgs bosun is a sub-atomic particle, also referred to as the God particle.)

- Best thing about summer: overabundance of avocados. Why? GUACAMOLE, that’s why!

- A phrase that I wish would gain in popularity - “Pish posh”.
- The Oxford comma - yea or nay?
- The aughts’ cultural zeitgeist - a vacuous black hole or appropriately zeitgeistian?

S: Depends if they leave a skidmark or not.
J: No skidmark.
S: Then love.
J: Smelly love.
S: Love stinks.
J: Apparently.
