@bhenick the kid wore glasses K-4 because she couldn't recognize letterforms. was always getting trouble for leaving them everywhere. #
@bhenick oh the line about math, solving problems, etc lit my brain on fire. just wrote almost 1000 words of journal rambling. may post l8r. in reply to bhenick #

@dylanw @mattmay I believe I've said that I'd have to be pried out with a crowbar. moving is teh suck. in reply to dylanw #
@bhenick am still grateful to my mother for telling school NOT to skip me from K to 2nd grade. can't imagine the ensuing social fail. #
strange but true: Nancy did faux-US accent sometimes, joking around. 1st time I heard GWB say "American" I freaked. it was EXACTLY like N's. #

bike is clean (mostly), bread is baked, sheets are washed. now out into the garden. if I don't come back, then the bindweed has got me. #
@shelleypowers @simonstl last of the hunter-gatherers? but with modern tech. willful denial of fish stock declines, globally. #
@shelleypowers @simonstl one thing I'm getting from this book is that there's a destructive attitude that goes with ocean fishing. #
@shelleypowers @simonstl I'm reading Bottomfeeder at the moment, just finished the chapter about bluefins & japan. utterly depressing. #
