Sweet success for Superdad
Q:What's the sweetest thing you've ever seen or heard from someone?
A (by David D'Esposito): I need to preface this answer with the explanation that I am, and always have been, a major comic-book geek. My particular pantheon of comic gods has a very specific hierarchy, which made this moment all the more special to me. After a little argument with my then-8-year-old daughter, I sullenly said to her, "I miss the days when you thought your dad was Superman". She looked up at me, puzzled. "No, Daddy." She said. "You're not Superman. You're much cooler than that. You're Batman." I cannot even imagine ever getting a more powerful compliment."

Heaveno's day gone with Leonso
Leonso Canales of Kingsville, Texas, began his campaign to replace the greeting "hello" with the less satanic "heaveno" in 1988, but he got serious about it in 1997 when he placed ads in the local paper showing the word "hello" scratched out and replaced with "heaveno". That same year, his campaign received official support when the commissioners of Kleberg County voted unanimously to designate heaveno as the county's official greeting. Canales died in September last year, and his departure seems to have taken the wind out of the sails of the heaveno movement.
