Polimom’s mind is looping on AC-specific issues this morning, and posting will be late today.
Since I can’t focus until I get the loop interrupted, this is probably as good a time as any for an open thread.
What’s on your mind today?
Update (Yes, I’m updating an open thread): How come the first time I ever put up an open thread, everybody went shy on me? Sheeeesh.

Pluto. I am amused by the new Urban Dictionary definition of pluto as a verb for being demoted or dissed: Polimom was Queen of Sheba yesterday, but today she has been pluto’d back to just a plain old mom & blogger.
It’s hard to think deep thoughts at lunch when my morning has been filled with phrases like “potentially deleterious non-Darcy flow effects.”
And I’m not smart (blush). I’m a smart-aleck. There’s a small but apparently significant difference between genius and impudence.
Polimom was Queen of Sheba yesterday, but today she has been pluto’d back to just a plain old mom & blogger.
I think I liked yesterday better… so long as I can keep the “mom” part, I’ll take Queen any day.
