In a long chat with my sister last night, we covered: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Transylvania University, Presbyterian missionaries in Brazil, genteel poverty, Mitt Romney's father, patrons of the Baltimore Museum of Art, paintings by my grandfather, chicken stress, plantar keratosis, gait analysis, sciatica, pronation, the etymology of "hallux, upupa epops, Nigerian and Thai names, the mind-finger connection, the fact that porne is derived from a verb that means "to export for sale" (in Greek), sesamoid bones, Big Papi's wrist, horse legs, Tupac Shakur, the height of Rod Stewart.

Don't you wish you had been there?

This afternoon I have purchased 4 things off the internet:

1. a car cigarette lighter plug for the laptop (properly called an inverter, which I learned from Our Friend Google)
2. six little round plastic disks that are used in the baby's bottle (I keep losing the little fuckers)
3. a gift for veejane
4. a gift for mr. flea

The last two must remain secrets since they both read my lj but suffice to say I am pleased with both and they are from VASTLY diverse sources, neither of which I could have discovered or contacted without the web.
