Blogs? In Berkeley?

One in particular has made my weekend: bIPlog! What a treasure trove. [via a very witty Ms. Wentworth]

Beachy

In case you were wondering: 85 degrees here today, and lovely.

A Little Mad Music

Mad Kane offers up the Homeland Security Act as Billy Joel might present it -- complete with midi. Mad's wicked song parodies have been coming in rapid fire succession these days; check out her Music Humor page.

Cause; Effect

TPB reminds me in his inimitable fashion why I haven't touched a dictaphone in twelve years. (The 4degreez Personality Test reminds me why I should keep an eye on such signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder.)

I have been remiss

It occurred to me like a bolt from the blue this afternoon that I never actually have blogged about The Half Norwegian (on the mother's side) American Bar Association. How this august group has avoided mention here before is beyond me. Do enjoy the speeches and overall silliness, and consider full or associate membership. The eligibility requirements are nothing if not flexible -- even if they do slide my gender quills inexorably toward the fully upright and locked position ("lawyers' wives, judges' mistresses, or deposed prime ministers of obscure nations...").

(How does one who primarily is Sicilian on the mother's side even know of such an organization? A favorite colleague at the firm who is Italian -- on the father's side -- has the distinction of being a past president.)

[later] Egads, it's come to this: hat blogging!!
