For Eric
Huckabee himself speaks about a Nascar strategy, with his opponents crashing into walls or one another and him, as the last man on wheels, winning the race. –NYTimes The next sentence being: And then gets slaughtered in the general election.

I got in a trifecta of training and fun this evening, though the biggest event of the day was relief that M lost teeth this morning promptly and with no further complications (and her lost inner cuteness has not seemed to’ve affected the outer in any way). I had my top wisdom teeth out, and…
