From the Mouth's of Babes: Conversation with the 7 year old neighbor of my aunt and uncle...
Kid: "Guess the name of the principal at my school" (A school in a district that I attended)
Me: "Hmmmm....Ms. Longo?...no...I don't know, so maybe Ms........" (this actually was about 5 minutes of back and forth and guessing)
Kid: "I'll just tell you! It's Dr. Callahan! But she's not a real doctor, that's just her name."
Me: "Actaully, she is a doctor, just not a medical doctor. That means that she went to college for a very long time and so we call her Doctor."
Kid: "No, she's not a doctor, her name is just Dr. Callahan. She's a principal, not a doctor. She just tells teachers what to do."

Good Eats!: (I hope) A new restuarant has opened in Central Square (in the old Burger King no less) called Rendez Vous. It has gotten good reviews on Chowhounds. A bit pricey, but I defintiely want to try it for some yet to be named special occasion. Who wants to come?

I Wanta Go!: They are opening the world's largest aquarium in Atlanta! I love aquariums!!!! I wanta go! (At least they have virtual tours until I can get back to Atlanta for a visit.)

Kissing a Spider??? The next installment in Emily and my subscription to SpeakEasy is Kiss of the Spider Woman, which has gotten two very positive reviews in the paper. We don't go until the first week of December, but I am getting excited...

The Power!: Apparently Eva and I were in a more elite cadre than we even knew! There was an article in today's Globe about the tremendous power of the student's sitting on the Food Advisory Board at Boston University. Both Eva and I sat on Macalester's board. "It's not as secretive as Yale's Skull and Bones, and so far none of its members have gone on to become president. But in certain circles, this Boston University group possesses a similar cachet. And power." Who knew we were so cool? (Well, we did...but ya know...)

SHE'S ALIVE: Yes, I know, I have broken the number one rule of blogging...don't go away. I have been busy! I was in Denver, San Fran and Sacramento last week and Philly for 24 hours this week. Then I go to Cleveland this weekend to see Chip, Abby and Rebecca (they won't be there at Thanksgiving), DC next week, and back to Cleveland for Turkey Day. Sorry I have been a stranger.
