blivet 2.0

Tomorrow is graduation day and so I will get hooded. My mom is still here and so will get to return home with more special memories… Updates will be late if at all. After September, October, and November, the rest of December will seem almost anti-climatic. Pax!

Actuarial Note No. 139 – 2001 Update “[T]he most frequently used given names for births in the first 8 months of 2001. The data comes from a 1% sample of Social Security card applications for births from January through August 2001.” Probably only of interest if you named a child in 2001. FWIW, Ian ranked 80 in the boy’s category. Hopefully he won’t have too many instances of having to say, “which Ian do you mean?” via MetaFilter

Audrey, Ian, and I watched and listened a couple of hours of VH-1’s tribute to George Harrison…. Well, I don’t think Ian watched it, but he was lying on the bed while it was on. It was really warming to hear Harrison speaking so frankly about meditation, dualistic thinking, the search for meaning, and personal spirituality. Perhaps some will hear what he said in the interviews and feel a tiny bit more supported in their own searching.

Dori comes through clean.

Former Beatle George Harrison has died. Thanks for everything George!

This will be blogged extensively, I just wanted to note it here. The things he did musiically and spiritually were very important to me and opened a lot of possibilities, especially when I was in my teens and twenties. I will remember him fondly.

Craig has a good set of linkage about Mr. Harrison. Thanks so very much for that, Craig.
