I'm a little wary of contributing to the growing overuse of the following sequence of words---someone has too much time on his hands---so instead I'll just point to someone named Brian (not to be confused with Brian), who's either spent a lot of time typing in his web browser or spent a bunch of time writing a script that compiled search results at whitehouse.gov.

Schools
It's that time of year when younger siblings get into college. Martha's going to Bennington (no longer that expensive), and we discovered the other day that Adam got into his first choice, UC Santa Cruz, the coolest thing about which is that their sports teams are the Fighting Banana Slugs. Nice job, guys!
