So… this bottlecap from my Nantucket Nectars lemonade says "Christopher and Rebecca Sears, of Bedford, N.H., have collected hundreds of Nantucket Nectars bottlecaps." I suppose they'd have to be as bored as I am right now. Bored enough to resort to actually posting something in my blog to pass the time. Thankfully, Lauri interrupts me to ask what effervescent means. So, I pull up m-w.com (Merriam-Webster, the best damn dictionary ever), and out comes:

Main Entry: ef·fer·vesce

Indeed. Like I said, all bubbly an' shit.
