Vacuosity

Heat of the moment A baby gate, a gift from a couple we've recently become friends with, leans against the living room wall. The following conversation ensues: Jordan: "That's not a heat-making machine." Me: "What?" "That's not a heat-making machine. Crystal said it was." Okay, I've been here before. It's kind of fun. Somewhere in that seemingly bizarre statement is a nugget of truth, waiting to be unearthed with a bit of prospecting. "What exactly did she say about it?" "She said it was a weird hot something." Hmm. There's meaning there... searching... something familiar in it... hot, heat-making, warmth, warm...Ahhh. "She said it was a weird house-warming present?" "Yeah." Mystery solved.
