“Thank you to all the Americans who have not yet sued me”

So said Sasha Baron Cohen, a.k.a. Borat, yesterday accepting the Golden Globes award for best actor in a comedy. The rest of what he said would be improper to repeat in such a proper blog as ours.

Other highlights from last night:

Warren Beatty, accepting the lifetime achievement recognition, thanking Schwarzenegger for becoming a Democrat, “as I asked of him.”

Helen Mirren majestically competing against herself in multiple nominations and multiple categories for portraying various British royalty throughout history.

And ending with a personal golden achievement from yesterday: I overcame some irrationality and let my husband fly our two young ones on an hour long flight in the small, two engine plane (much safer than highway ground travel so I have learned) he likes so much. The girls loved it.

My father flew me around in a single engine Cessna from the time I was six…wonderful memories, and I could navigate an airplane by instrument by the time I was nine – perhaps one of the reasons I did so well in math in future years. So hurrah for your daughters!
