Never ever again will I  give someone something that I think they should read and say "Read This".  I hate when people make a show of reading something.  They read the words out loud, skipping over some words as they are trying to get to the end of this onerous task of being forced to read something while I wait by their shoulder for them to finish and agree about how great and life changing it is.   No More!  Go find your own stuff to read.

I made another vow today.  Kate asked me why women are more selective than men about their mates.  I know the answer, of course.  It is that women only get a certain number of chances to .....  Jeeze.  I can't even stand typing it.  I am utterly bored of trying to explain the law of natural selection.  I was a Biology major and view the law of natural selection as one of the great truths that explain much of the world, but as I lay there trying to gather the energy to explain this concept, I suddenly realized that I never wanted to ever again .  Why?  because I have heard other people explode perfectly good conversations with this lecture and it just sounds so old, so 20th century.  Let the callow Biology undergrads tell their girlfriends all about how their strategies for producing viable offspring.  I vow never to do it again!  (and this on the anniversary of the end of the Scopes Monkey Trial........)

Bring vs. Take

Take me to jail!  I have been speaking incorrectly all this time. "Bring me to the doctor" is bad English.  Take me to the doctor is correct.  I thought those two could be used interchangably, but I was wrong.  Thank God Kate persists in correcting me or I would continue use "bring" when I meant "take".    Bring means "convey towards the place from which the action is being regarded".
