I’m off to the airport to pick up my parents, who are visiting for a long weekend. They currently live in Florida. All week, they’ve been calling and asking about the weather. A few times they even said, “We’re worried about the cold.” Worried?

Hey, Mom and Dad. WE WON’T MAKE YOU SLEEP OUTSIDE. PACK A SWEATER.

We’re going to take advantage of the free, competent babysitting to spend a night in Kennebunkport. We’re going back to the inn with, uh, the floor show. Maybe we’ll run into Bar again.

Speaking of the Bushes, I just saw the most awesome headline on Yahoo: “Hezbollah Leader to Bush: ‘Shut Up.’” I suppose tomorrow’s headline will read: “No, You Shut Up!”

Another curious headline popped up on CNN this morning, although it was 6:30 a.m. and I was on a treadmill, so I may have hallucinated it. It read, “Haiti Front-Runner Ahead in Election.” Well, it would be strange if one of the last-place guys were ahead, wouldn’t it?
