OMG, I'm now one of those freaks leaving comments on 2-year old blog posts. ANYWAY...above and beyond neotenization via breeding, there's also the whole spaying / neutering thing. If a dog never develops aggressive adult-male behaviors due to lack of testosterone, that makes him more boyish, no? > How come we call animals girls and boys instead of men and women, even when they are full-grown?

Congratulations on the Berkeley job; once you get used to showering and dressing for work again I bet you'll love it there. I've been peeking in on your blog for a while now, and I'm glad to see you and Victor and Arty all seem happy. Being a mean librarian could be fun (how do they employ their meanness, now that it's not de rigeur to shush library patrons? Take away their keyboards? Hide the book they're looking for?), especially if they earn 2% more than the nice ones. I ratted you out to the NKHS reunion committee; you may get an email from one of them sometime soon. Here's the email that Amy C. forwarded (she turned me in): >>> "NKHS Class of 1988" 07/31/08 9:16 AM >>> Hi Everyone- "Save the Date" info postcards will be mailed out by this weekend. However, I really need people to send me as many mailing addresses and email addresses as they could for any and all class members that you might have...please remember to include maiden names for the ladies! Please send the info even if you think you might have already as I am compiling everyone into an excel spreadsheet and there are 450+ classmates to contact!!!! I appreciate everyone's patience and I am excited that we finally have some tangible info to actually send out!!! We have reserved the Atlantic Beach Club for Friday, November 28th at 7pm...more info to come! Please be in touch if you have any questions at all! Thanks- Tina Morgan Golden Hey, Kelly!

BTW, I randomly met one SO of a San Jose State library school alum, and one student of the San Jose State library school program, while out walking dogs with Victor.
