That sounds great, Perkins. I can't wait to see it.

Sarameg, I realize that practically everyone is made uneasy by the thought of parental sex, but from an outsider's perspective it is sweet that your folks are romantic and plan secluded rendezvous together at their age.

What is even happening?
sara, what Matt said.
That Yeah was for what Kristen said, but I guess you have a point too, ita.
Only a small one though.Don't worry, a couple more blows to the head, and it'll be all smoothed out.
It cracks me up that my parents used to think trampolining was a safe pursuit they could leave me unattended at for hours with no supervision. Not only were trampoline injuries frequent and varied, some of us devised a way to use it as a weapon against playmates—coordinating our jump harmonics to catch the third person with a rebound and catapult him off the thing altogether.
We learned it in gym, in elementary school, so of course, the only times I ever did it, there were spotters galore, etc. I was shocked when everyoen started getting them for their kids. Apparently, so were the indemnity insurers. You either can't get one here, or it blows your homeowners' rates so sky high, you can't afford the trampoline, anyhow.

Hope thirty is a great age for you, sarameg! I seem to recall it was for me. Your parents are very cute.
I like those bangs, Perkins. I can't combine the images in my head, but I bet it's a good cut.

It is 9:39 and I'm just barely awake here. Going back to sleep when I woke up at 6 seemed like a good idea at the time, and I do seem to be well-rested now, but now my body seems to be set on "sleep" mode!
In other news, I saw some fabulous program items at Readercon, hung with some really nice friends, and lucked into a dinner with Joe & Gay Haldeman. Off to a blessedly shorter day today!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I used to bealch my eyebrows with Jolen when my hair was much lighter, but I always figured it was a really bad idea. I was so happy to see them doing it on What Not To Wear!

I just saaw a butterfly in my backyard hovering in the wind - trying to get somewhere but not being able to. It's now on an Elephant Ear leaf with its wings spread flat. Seems like a good strategy.

Thrive to spite them
I just realized I don't have a radio with batteries. I knew where one was before I moved but I don't think it got packed and moved. Or if it did I don' tknow where it is.
I'm trying to decide if I should go out and see if I can buy one real quick.

Oh, I think I did the same thing. Not going out, though. I've got flashlights and the laptops are charging up, that'll have to do.

I'd say yes, askye, unless it's too messy outside. I hope you don't need it, though. You can usually find battery-operated radios at places like Walgreens and Eckerds, which might be easier to get in and out of.
