I made a winky face, which is typographical. Arrgh. At Mikesorgatz: On "Numbers" the other night on TV, one of the mathemetician characters says that a substance in the Milky Way has been recognized as one of the components in raspberries. (It seems to take its math and science seriously.) So the Milky Way smells of raspberries. And now you say it looks like coffee? Can a Starbuck's outpost be far behind?

And chromatically, the mix would be gray. But I suppose there's a blurry line between warm gray and beige. Can we compromise and call it greige? ;-) My monitor shows it as gray.

It's gray. It's always gray. Warm, cool, dark, light. But gray. (Golden Paints does an end-of-the-year thing where they take all their leftover paint and make a batch. It's . . . gray. They call theirs Torrit Gray, and it varies slightly from year to year, depending on the paint they have made in the preceding 365-day period.)
