Notes From All Over

• I am endlessly amused by the New York Times story on those friends who don't recall Barack Obama's youthful drug use. I would love to get the whole gang together on "Meet The Press" and let them fight it out: "Oh, like you would remember! You were doing so many drugs!" "Well gosh, Barry, make up your mind. Were you doing more drugs than we were, or fewer?" "Stop calling me Barry!"
• When I didn't give up blogging for Lent, I forgot to mention that I had created a special name for it, a la NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo: PeBloPosSe! (Personal blog posting season. Of course I've already ruined it by not posting daily in Lent.)
• My brother-in-law had a brilliant idea: blue cheese ice cream. Others have pioneered this. I think it would make an excellent Easter dessert, but is it too wintry? We would certainly have to provide an alternative dessert for the children.
