We've been home today, alternately working in the yard, coming in to cool off, taking breaks to surf or check the TV. At one point we watched a modernized version of Bartleby the Scrivener with Crispin Glover as Bartleby. His name was drummed into us, of course, as was his famous "I would prefer not to." Later, we landed on a cartoon about ducks and penguins and heard one duck call another "Bartle!" We decided that the pair might be called Bartle and James. We laughed and thought that was quite something! Then, while clicking through Wilson's Almanac, I glanced at the ticker at an entry about someone named BARTLE! I don't know what it means, but it is definitely jarring to have such a weird and sudden inundation of a certain name!
