Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm sure it will be your cross to bear.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hooray for great Nora & Tom partyage!

And go Billytea with the killer combo of dating and echidnas!

I was felled with a kiler migraine this noon which is just now fading. One of those really bad ones. Yuck.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

No echidnas were harmed in the making of this Wally report. I, however, am ded from the cute.

That is no way to spend a birthday. I think I need to send you a birthday present.

billytea, I'm thoroughly impressed and enjoying your dating strategies which (to my mind) betray a veteran of many D&D campaigns, with a side of Toastmasters.

It's all true. You'll know I've gone overboard if I start announcing that "I've advanced Wally to 4th level, and maxed out my skill ranks in Bluff, Tumble and Use Rope."

It's my 12th wedding anniversary today (my time, that is). I just sent off an email to Bec. I hope she has a good day.

Apparently the 12th anniversary is silk. Kind of sorry to miss out on pressies for that one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Grrr, kittens do not belong on laptops. Their wee little cat feet eat posts.

After my nephew's birthday party yesterday afternoon, I drove up to Camarillo to spend the evening at my uncle and uncle-in-law's place with my mom who had driven in for the weekend. We had the most amazing dinner at Westside Cellars Café in Ventura, drank Cuvee le Beck and ate wonderful little nibbles all evening. So good. Then I had lunch at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles with the lovely and wickedly witty Madrigal before heading home today. Such a lovely weekend.

I hope you have a good day today too, billytea. It seems like this would be a strange and difficult day. My thoughts are with you.

It does, doesn't it? But I'm really fine. There's a touch of bittersweet nostalgia, some fond regrets, but no demons. In my email to Bec, I thanked her for the years we had together, let her know I'd learned more from her than anyone else in my adult life, and that she's a special woman who deserves to be happy. And meant every word.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

She also may have bewitched and bedazzled my cutie pie (but married) neighbor.

Really? How'd I do that?

The McWarnigle residence is truly spectacular, and the owners are charming and gracious hosts. It was so nice to see everyone!

Hamlet was the free-Shakespeare-on-Boston-Common selection this year, and tonight was the last performance of the season. It was really quite good despite the new location within the Common for the stage which brought everything much closer to traffic noises. The actor who played Hamlet was quite good--none of the famous monologues sounded trite--and my only quarrel was his over-the-top rendition of "the rest is silence," which to me is a sentence best served by understatement.

ETA that billytea just gave me goosebumps.
