- A perfect peach: skin like burgundy velvet, flesh firm but soft, tart but sweet.
- A new word: tête-bêche. It literally means 'head to tail', and is used in both philately and publishing. In philately, it decribes a joined pair of stamps with one inverted relative to the other (think of kids top and tail in a bed). In publishing, it describes means two works printed in a single edition back to back with one in 180 degree rotation relative to the other, so there are two front covers. Carol Shields's Happenstance is the only example I've come across, but I didn't know the name of the format until today.
- Working under managers who are kind, understanding, and treat you like a grownup. (No, they don't read my blog as far as I know)

Carolyn has a book like that - "Coping with Boys" by Kara May on one side, and "Coping with Girls" by Peter Corey on the other. Aimed at early teens.
