Dude! I'm jealous!

Hey! Obama's been to Ben's Chili Bowl and I still haven't gone. Gosh durn it. I hear it's even got good vegetarian chili (according to my sister, who should know) and my cousin David swears by the place. Hmmph. When the heck am I going to find the time to get to U Street for chili, though? I'm jealous of the president-elect! Hmmph.

In related news, I said to Yael the other day, "Do you think we should name your brother Barak?"

"No, I don't like that."

"Well, that might be his name anyway." And I made a face at her. "But what should his middle name be, I wonder?"

She started to laugh. "He should be Barak Obama Fishman! Barak Obama Fishman," she repeated, followed by hysterical giggles.

In case I wondered if she was listening along as I listen to NPR in the morning on the way to school...

And lastly (and unrelated), note to self: Stay far far far away from Ashland, Oregon, especially after Thing 2 is born. The thought of a town where over 25% of the kids are unvaccinated and there's always some whooping cough going around makes me want to cry. A lot.
