with an impending wedding and a raft of actual work that needs to be done prior to my departure, this is probably a good time to take a break from this business of blather and link regurgitation. there may be sporadic posting if the mood strikes or if the wife and i come to loggerheads about the music to be played during the reception (is a little Lionel Richie too much to ask for?).
to help you pass the time, try to watch as much TV as Phil has.

Posted by: crispin at June 10, 2004 02:18 PMNicely done, Phil, I never realized you were so into sci-fi. In the words of Master Shake, "The Highlander was a documentary, and the events happened... in real time."

Posted by: nicole at June 10, 2004 04:16 PMThanks you for confirming to me that people really do use the word "raft" in that figurative sense. I had never seen or heard it before I started editing copy on the foreign desk, and it appears there all the time, but nowhere else--or so I had thought. I still have one question, though: Why do figurative rafts only carry bad things?
P.S. Your wedding dj better play "Strokin'."
