Haha. They DID try to convince me to go singular, but the people at the Census Bureau would lose their bloody minds if I published a book titled "data is." And I'm too much of an ethnographer not to embrace their emic language.

I too am a fan for this kind of geekery.

I was actually surprised by how enjoyable Disney was on the ground but it’s definitely true that there’s a game to it. I ended up embracing the game. I failed at the restaurants in pre-plan but this let me get to most of them: mousewatcher.com

When I showed this to my historian friend, his first remark was "the Great Lakes region would have aligned with Canada." I love historians.

Bwahaha. I love how the 5yo in this scenario has no opinion re: the bday party. Oh how dreamy it would be to throw a kiddo bday party w/o last min changes of themes, invite lists, cake flavors. I feel like kiddo bday parties are a test to see who cries first: kid or parent.
