My yard is overrun with moles, and my flock of chickens can only do so much.

Note from the Wicked Witch of Publishing (TM): I know who Traci is! (Thanks for stopping by!) She just left her position as director of marketing for a graphics-oriented, publicly-held company and launched her own online business called My Pet Chicken. And….she’s making money at it.

Kate’s best move was managing to pull off the absurd notion that she was the victim of unrequited love. But what prize did she get? Jack Black!

This was my favorite performance by Jude Law since Jigolo Joe in “A.I.” Next time I run into him at Nichol’s, I’ll tell him.

Note from The Wicked Witch of Publishing (TM): Tom and his coauthor of Halsey’s Typhoon had an article, ”How Lieutenant Ford Saved His Ship,” in the Op Ed section of The New York Times the day after President Gerald Ford died. In 1944, Lt. j.g. Jerry Ford was a 31-year-old gunnery office on the aircraft carrier Monterey in the South Pacific. He rarely spoke of his heroism, but after almost being hurled overboard during the typhoon (70′ waves!), he managed to put out a fire on deck and below, and saved the vessel—after permission had already been given to abandon ship!

The cat is normal-sized. The man is clearly a member of a little-known clan of diminutive  Maine lumberjacks.

May your year be filled with the sound of shekels, Lynne.

And keep the Hamptons wildlife reports coming.

First of all, I've seen that picture before, in a book about how easy hoax photos are. The cat is real, the man is real; they just ain't in the same room. Second, that's no Maine Coon in the picture; they're brown or grey fluffy tabby, not white with patches. I expect the picture merely represents the enormity of Lynne's affection for TT and how heavy he is on the lap. God knows that's how I feel when my monstrous grey boy Hideki (a puny 18 pounds) climbs aboard! <em>Note from the Wicked Witch of Publishing (TM): What!</em> I think Lynne may be having a spot of fun with us cat lovers.

Sounds an exhausting evening. Wild horses would  Maxinenot have dragged me to Borat. Jude Law is beautiful but seems to be something of a cad. I gather from Petrona’s comments (“The Long Tail of DVD Boxed Sets”) that David Tennant is now considered a massive hearthrob. He was Casanova and is now Dr Who but he will never get to first base with me, having also been Barty Crouch Jr, boo hisss.

Finally, what a lovely photo of you and Sarah (sorry Ron!) I guess you are the one in the middle and Sarah the one with the sultry expression? You are both so lovely.

Note from the Wicked Witch of Publishing (TM): Yep, I’m the one in the middle! Thanks for the compliment. (And thank YOU, Dr. Fried, for all those years of orthodonture!) Maxine Clarke is a science journal editor for Nature. She lives in the UK. Maxine has SEVEN excellent weblogs. (Seven!) Petrona is her personal weblog.

Great following your social exploits while spending my time dreamily looking out at unsnowy meadows and listening to the trees and flowers discussions – “Is it time to bloom yet?”

Une bonne annee….anything should be better than 2006. Doree
