Mostly lurking...

It's not? Wow! I can't believe I never did that. I'm such a birthday drama queen...gotta have all the attention I can get :)

It's not?

Well, if you want me to, it will be now...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hippo birdies to you, V-Dub!

I'm here in Scottsdale, AZ, where it is authentically warm (like 90) but dry enough in the AM that I've got my hotel room balcony door wide open so I can hear the mourning doves and sniff deserty air. It's not going to be a dry heat later, but for now it's pretty good-feeling.

I can't decide whether to try to go to the pool before breakfast starts at 7 AM. Yes, that's right, they really do start their day that early at the summer conferences... partly because so many of them are ex-schoolteachers, I think. Since my body is still on MA time, I'm less put out than you might think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Bug!

I wish I had one of VWBug's carob cupcakes right now. So what if they were intended for Toto? Best use of carob I've come across yet! (Also, they're cow-free and vegan, so Jen and I both had an unexpected treat.)

A hummingbird just flew by my balcony. More bulletins as they develop....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VW!!!!! You're a rock star, yes you are.

Drooling over the hybrid SUVs. Don't really want an SUV, but we do need a vehicle suitable for hauling sets, and I'm tired of driving the giant Sierra around in the city (not to mention the gas bill).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday to VW!!!

and your little dog too!!

I woke up with what feels like a heat headache. Which doesn't makes sense since this weekend was quite pleasant (compared to what it had been) and my apartment was 70 this morning. Maybe I'll blame it on the cats who stole my pillows last night.

Or monday.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy Birthday VW!

My Saturn SC-1 gets between 30 and 35 mpg. It's also a 3-door coupe with minimal haulage, and has the pickup of an asthmatic snail, so it's probably not what most folks are looking for. Still, it got me to Charlottesville and back on less than a tank of gas, which was nice.
