stoutfellow1. It's interesting, on Independence Day, to watch both sides of the political aisle haul out the Declaration to support their positions. It's revealing which parts of the indictment of King George get highlighted by one side or the other - and, of course, which parts neither side wants to own.
2. I love the Internet. The recipe I'm trying today - pork chops in avgolemono sauce - calls for "the juice of one lemon". I don't have a lemon; I have a bottle of lemon juice. Thanks to the 'Net, I was able to determine that the desired amount is about two tablespoons, maybe a little more.
3. Why has no one ever attempted to film Heinlein's Double Star? The only tricky parts would be the scenes involving Martians, especially the adoption ceremony. I was just visualizing the final pages as a voice-over, covering a montage of Bonforte's career after the end of the story. It - the film, that is - would be beautiful.
4. I miss Molly Ivins, especially today. Her Fourth of July essays always made me smile.
