Random Notes
- Tonight when we got home my daughter wanted pizza. (The homemade pizzas have been a big hit.) This time around the crust took a lot of work, and I wound up getting so wrapped up in the process that I forgot to get her to put on the sauce and cheese. When the pizza got out of the oven, she looked at it, and a few minutes began to wail: “I didn’t get to help with anything!” Which served as another reminder that kids want to be involved in things – they don’t want stuff handed to them. There’s a metaphor in there, I’m sure.
- I think it’s safe to say Don Henley had a rooting interest in tonight’s Grammys.
- I have a feeling some Salon copy editors are going to go through an unpleasant meeting in the not too distant future. And that the Obama campaign, and the way that we talk about it, are going to reinforce the point I made yesterday about the meanings behind words.
