On novels:
Just learned there is a YA book coming out soon in which a teen looks for clues about her birth mother in HER DAD’s LIVEJOURNAL. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt older than in this very moment.

On the Creek:
My teenage daughter just came into the kitchen and said “I’m watching this TV show, it’s like a teen drama but it’s set in the past”. I asked her what it was called and she said “Dawson’s Creek”.
I have been alive a long time.
