Okay, this was unexpected. I just got through reading Ivan's dad's blog. All I can say is, if all of your parents are this cool, what the heck happened to you guys? (Kidding.) Read his take on the blues--it's relevant to our discussion of the use of words. Now if Ivan were to tell his dad how to set up an Atom feed (hint, hint) we could add Verging on Pertinence to our newsbrowsers.
