"!!! I think I love you!"

But we've got to stop meeting like this. People are starting to talk.

My daughter, Maria, told me last night about how she and one of her friends were having some discussion about some topic to do with words, and Diane said, "You could ask your mom, but she'd probably tell you more than you wanted to know." Maria agreed, then confessed she might actually want to know most of it. Diane suggested she might like to be there herself when Maria asked me whatever it was.

I have a fan club. Watch my ego expand to fill my entire cubicle.

And what about a new acronym: YCAYM- You Could Ask Your Mom.
