STUFF:
1. Really thrilled to see that Wolfowitz is going, and about time too. He's the only president the Bank ever had who has been boo-ed by staff members in the foyer as he walked in. He was an embarrassment to the Bank and to the work it does. Anyone else fancy the job of being World Bank President? Here's what LanguageLog has to say about it "But first, you must be well in with the United States executive branch, because it is a tradition at the bank that the President of the USA chooses the Bank's president; and second, because of another little-known linguistic regulation at the bank, your name will have to be Wolf, Wolfe, Wolfberg, Wolfcraft, Wolfensberger, Wolfensohn, Wolfenstein, Wolfer, Wolferen, Wolferman, Wolfgang, Wolfinger, Wolfman, Wolfmark, Wolford, Wolfowitz, Wolfram, Wolfsberger, Wolfsburg, Wolfschmidt, Wolfson, Wolftrap, or Wolfy. Good luck."
2. Work is blah. Still entertaing chats with friends are good.
3. UNKNITTING IS MAKING ME CRAZY
4. Our peonies are flowering, and their big beautiful fluffy red flower heads make me joyful every day.
5. Gah, it's cup final day tomorow, and I'm traveling into London, and then across London, oh well, never mind!
Love to them as needs it.
