Nothing fascinates the American public so much as the notion that what you eat rather than how much you eat affects your health.

Yay! Sabrina got into the highest level of the Seattle Youth Symphony. We got the notification today in the mail. And what a world we live in: I sent an email ("I have SYSO news!") to the mom's work address. She has a Blackberry for her job. She apparently just checked it, and then told Sabrina. Who called me on her cell phone from Salem, Oregon, for the news. Modern families! :-)

Sabrina has now achieved her personal triple crown: Orchestra A, Jazz Band I, and "Big Youth" Symphony. Congratulations to her, sez me.
