"Highlight from visiting minister's sermon on Sunday: "I've heard that aphids reproduce so quickly that an aphid can actually give birth to female offspring who are already pregnant themselves." Three points if you can guess the sermon thesis." -me (Emily), April 20, 2015

"Well, back to bed, it's almost six in the morning here. If anybody needs half a song about spaghetti, I wrote one Tuesday night. You just need to finish it and change all the words." -Blue M., September 21, 2014

"Jarring moment...sunny afternoon buying coffee beans at Porto Rico, Hall & Oates comes on, I perk up, say to a girl next in line, "I love this song..." she looks at me blankly, listens hard.
