Heard today on NPR

Rosa sat so Martin could walk
Martin walked so Obama could run
Obama ran so our children could fly.

Wow.

Pathetic Self Improvement Post

Yep, this is my desk at home, and it's so messy I don't really use it as a workspace much. Thank goodness for laptops
In which I post to a particularly on-point post from Lifehacker about cleaning up my desk, which you see here, snapped from my phone. Part of cleaning things up begins this morning with backed-up posts I want to get on line, so that reduces the pathetic factor a little, I suppose.

48 Hours in Montreal: A Guide to Eating | Serious Eats

This image reduced in size after being borrowed, with thanks, from Serious Eats

Serious Eats is a seriously fun food blog, and while they enjoy and usually write well about fine dining, they also know how to point readers and eaters to good inexpensive eats as well. My mother – a.k.a. Mom, a.k.a. Nana – is travelling to Montreal and Quebec City with a dear friend from Switzerland early next summer. 48 Hours in Montreal: A Guide to Eating won’t entirely be to their taste (they don’t worship quite as ardently at the altar of the pig, for example) but they should find some valuable ideas here and it the comments. I may travel there next year too, but whenever I do, this will be one of my key references.

Tech Family Weekend

A sunny, winning day at Grant Field

Watching the Yellow Jackets beat up (sloppily) on the Duke Blue Devils. Ten minutes to go in the 4th quarter, Tech is up 17-0. Go Jackets! And happy 50th to me!

Update: 27-0 final score and a photo.

Later update: Finally got the photo up; the Wordpress client on my iPhone wouldn’t behave. Meh.
