• What do you call a cousin by marriage? Cousin? #
  • How is it that this is the 2nd wedding I've been to where the bride & groom entered the reception to Welcome To The Jungle? #
  • Showed C the site of my cousin's wedding, on a riverwalk. She was more interested in the boats. #
  • The Ft Lauderdale area is fractal: it's the same 25 businesses repeated over & over, ad infinitum, in different sized buildings. #
  • Loxahatchee NWR: site of an extended pirate fantasy by C, involving the lookout tower & exploding pants. #
  • Where we're spending our morning: http://twitpic.com/18bquf #
  • All Google Maps driving directions for the Ft Lauderdale area say 3 minutes per mile, even on the highway. That's far too much traffic. #
  • Recipe for disaster: 1 napless preschooler. Add 1 new location, 1 imminent wedding, 2 cousins, extended family to taste. Stir until cranky. #
  • C asked earlier today, "What does it mean to be an artist?" No matter how good my answer was, I fear it's nowhere near adequate. #
  • The whole of my dad's side of the family is gathered in one place, for the first time I think ever. #
  • 90% chance of thunderstorms today, so no Everglades for us. Bummer. Well, maybe tomorrow. At least there's an aquarium in the hotel lobby. #
  • My grandparents used to live in Miami when I was a kid. The air here smells like being 10 years old. #
  • RDU-FLL was decidedly not a spring break flight: mean age of passengers ~40, median ~65. #
  • Flying w/ a very energetic preschooler: all the hassle is maybe counterbalanced by the tolerance of our fellow passengers. #
  • Off to FL for my cousin's wedding, who I remember as an infant. Fort Lauderdale during spring break, oy gevalt. #
  • The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes: http://twitpic.com/17w8x2 #
  • Is there some natural law that requires even well-structured to data be horribly dirty, and 5% be totally useless? #
  • I geekily used time.gov to check in on Southwest the very second I could, and I still ended up in group B. I feel somehow a failure. #
  • O caffeine, you are my friend. Without you, I think I would never get any grading done. #
  • My current dumb reason for wanting more open access journals to exist: Read It Later on the iPhone can't download subscription content. #
  • C heard TMBG's theme song to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse — M-O-U-S-E — & then sang it back as Hello UNC. I like her version better. #
  • Landmark event at the Pomerantz homestead this PM: the first outdoor grilling of the season. I've learned not to call it barbecueing. #
  • There's also something oddly Space Merchants / Jennifer Government-style dystopian about commercial indoor play places. #
  • I'm more tired than C is after her friend's b-day party at an indoor play place. Hot flat & crowded. Well, maybe not flat so much as bouncy. #
  • Off to a b-day party for one if C's little friends at an indoor gym. Should be fun for the kids & madness for the adults. As so much is. #
