None of the premier Champagne houses will suggest a suitable pairing.

“Dick van Dyke”

I did *not* see that one coming! Mine:

Richard Feynman

Elizabeth Windsor

I’m still considering the menu.

The usual strategy would be for NPR to pretend it just didn’t happen, but this fib was so delicious it really got out of control and sucked in a lot of people!

In addition to the movies, she made a memorable recording of Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil – accompanied by Ali Akbar Khan. It’s still available on compact disc.

Now that’s a name! I don’t think the lovely, Mrs. Firefly is interested in having more children, but I’d be up for having another son if we could name him Mordecai Moses Firefly!
