Naw. Ms. Perky. First one since she jumped to this publisher. And the production schedule is insanely short.

Hint: it's someone mentioned in the cover story in today's Times food section. No, not that one; I worked on her stuff before she left this house for another. Actually, this new one is marginally better; at least her recipes won't kill you.

Kathryn Hughes, historian at my soon to be place of employment thinks that Thomas Cromwell is "urban". Well yes, but perhaps "urbane" would be a more interesting observation.

Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, have spoken before about their close friendship with Jay-Z and Beyonce.

"Jay is one of the people I respect most in the world," the actress explained to Steve Stoute last November. "He's such an iconoclast in so many ways."

One reviewer of a recent paper of ours thought that there was an error due to our "a priory" assumptions. Maybe the reviewer would be better convinced ex cathedra assumptions.

A former boss of mine was at a meeting with the company's lawyers in order to go over a proposed video licensing contract. Mind you, he hadn't actually *read* the contract. He was a busy guy. He had "people" to do the reading for him. Then they talked about the terms with him. He was fine with everything except one clause - he didn't understand why the contract covered "Arizona missions."

There was a painful silence. Then one of the lawyers realized he was actually referring to "errors and omissions." They broke it too him very carefully.

MRI used to be called NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance (imaging)).

An elderly patient was brought down to the machine in a wheelchair, and was asked to get into the imager. She was utterly relieved, and said fine. She added, I thought they said I had to get an enema. (Say NMR out loud.)

G told me this one, so it must be true.
