"You bring the prostate and I'll bring the glove.": December 2012

A few of my favorite things:

Aussie rules football, especially the Balfour meat pies
buffalo, especially Cape
dancing the Nutcracker with Liat, if you can call it dancing.
Don't Lets Go To the Dogs Tonight, by Alexandra Fuller
endless horizons
hippos in the night
hurricane haiku
men who grunt
multivariate regression
Ras abu Ghaloum
Roller Disco
Ruth spotting a wild elephant
tea at the uranium mine
that Sebright bantams, so lovingly bred by the chicken fanciers of the English countryside, are feminized by c-myc promoter-driven aromatase genomic insertion
that Socrates recognized that there was something terribly wrong with the pseudohermaphroditic spotted hyena, Crocutta crocutta
that wallabies ovulate reflexively with the lunar cycle
the amalgamation of scents of chicken manure and orange blossom
the Cartesian blogito, ergo sum
the incandescent Betty Carter, the sublime Urbie Green, and the absolutely koo koo Astrud Gilberto
the rhythm of prose, the cadence of speech, I shall live out my days as a metronome
Yuval reading the Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock
