my sense of humor...

...seems to be best appreciated by four-year-olds.

The downstairs neighbors' three-and-a-half-year-old has an orange balloon with black fur-like stripes. "What is that?" I ask. He grins, and holds it out for inspection.
"It's a tiger -- no, wait -- it's a balloon! Wait -- which is it?" He looks at his mom ("what a loon! I love it!") and laughs, and she shrugs ("I dunno -- maybe you'd better hang out with him and find out.").

I liked talking to your dad too. I hope I wind up as cool as he is. I too like to see radicalized older folks -- and it's particularly cool to see an aging Lutheran theologian with such a strong radical streak.

I also had a good time talking to Georgia (was that her name) because I got to rave about Wikipedia and how it was a sign of the changes to the way people deal with information. But she was honestly interested in the subject, I think. Or she was being very polite.

It's like I say -- all the cool kids are going to library school.

That's not just Georgia, that's my_left_ear! Oh, I'm sure she was genuinely interested, seeing as how she's one of those cool library kids. :-)

Cool. *adds to friends list*
... but she doesn't make the Seattle filter, since she's Michigan-bound.
