tall and stout
November 17th, 2008 by old-lists
how milk sweetens on heating just the right way
earplugs – did I say this last year? I think these are perhaps the most bang for your buck in any manufactured product ever
layering
lengthy sunshine hours
eyeballs that continue to function with minimal deterioration
school, learning, dialogue, discourse
soup-to-nuts open source OS & software
a generation and culture that is increasingly ecologically sensitive
wireless internet… everywhere…
my own little space to live in
eagles
metacognitive ability, coping
care packages
persistence and progress observed in others
porters, stouts, cream ales, …
greek cuisine
hand-me-down hiking boots worn every day that last years
flexible deadlines
My best of’s are not new:
best food: big rock trad on tap
best music: mgmt
best movie: farewell my concubine
best book: cognitive processing of chinese and related asian languages (–joke; I don’t read anymore)
best words: ludic, phatic, co-constructed, comity, problematize (could also be worst word)

oh elusive one. if there was any doubt in my mind who posted this, it was quickly dispelled upon reading your best book entry.
hope Vancouver is treating you well.
Christmas is Buffalo?
Alas, Christmas is not Buffalo this year. I will be in the South with my mother and her family at long last. It may not be a white Christmas, but there are lots of little cousins to play with, and a peaceful setting at my mother’s house looking out on the pond she borders.
Perhaps not the excitement and gut-stuffing of Buffalo, but I will be there in spirit.
Sorry, e. I think “problematize” might be a worst word. I like the idea of doing best/worst words, though. Hoping to see you soon?
