Have to give a shout out to Pete, whose birthday was yesterday. Pete is some combination of what Malcolm Gladwell in The Tipping Point would call Salesmen, Mavens, and Connectors. At any rate, he defines what is cool, and I find myself saying things he says, listening to music he listens to, etc. He's a virus.
Oh yeah, and to Margaret, who baked an insanely good chocolate cake. I think there were five pounds of sugar in the slice I had. Mmmmmm.
