Gift books!
The gift-giving season is here, and here are my ideas for some books that we need to see on the shelves.

First, a couple of self-improvement books (done with the proviso that I believe that in many bookstores, the category "Self Improvement" is a kind of code phrase for "Improvement of Others"):

You Know, You Really Are a Good Person!
Chapters include: "Your Mom Was Trying Her Hardest," "So Who Else Were You Going To Marry?," "Nobody Else's Kids Listen, Either," etc.

This I Do Not Forgive
Chapters include, "Mother," "Father," "Teachers," "Siblings," "Boss," "Co-Workers," "Spouse (First)," "Spouse (Second)", etc.

For the Business Section:

If Money Isn't Important, Why Don't I Have More Of It?

Finally, in the Fiction section:

Dirty Harry Potter

Hatching an antonym
Last night, I had a conversation with my middle school friend Becky Beth, who had called for homework help. Her assignment asked for, among other things, a synonym and antonym for the verb hatch, used in the sense of "hatch a plot." She had thought of "conceive" as the synonym, but was a bit stuck for the antonym. The best I could offer her was "extemporize." Anyone else have a better idea?
