You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Perry says the Astrodome schedule has been cleared through December.

I'm trying to imagine living in a sports arena for 4 months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How is your next year going to be, schedule-wise?

Really good, actually. I'm taking four classes, all at night, and one only meets every other week. So it's some Tuesdays 6-10, all Weds 6-10, all Thurs 6-8. And now I remember that I was supposed to be getting a DVR today.

This is nice news. I am not sure where the public schools of Houston will put these kids, but the offer is a nice one:

When I was in grammar school, the next school over had a fire and the kids came into our school, but I have no idea how. They didn't mix the classes, and I can't imagine we had extra rooms, but whatever they did, we had two schools in one building for quite a while. And we hardly ever saw those kids from the other school, because of staggered schedules and stuff.

Oh, she's adorable! Such lively face, not just lovely.

including the 5 generation pictures

Wow, *5* generations. The oldest lady is your great-grandmother? It's amazing that she and Emma got to meet. It happened with my (now late) grandfather and his "fifth generation". I'm not sure they took pictures, though.

Really good, actually.

Oh, excellent. I like it that they're all mid-week, nothing straight on Monday or dragging to Friday.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

I love the picture with all of you, in which she holds Emma. Such a long line, so many years and events, and they meet, in something so simple and so special as a baby cradled in loving arms.

We were all together to celebrate her 100th birthday. It's amazing to think of what hadn't happened/didn't exist/came to be in her lifetime.

Thrive to spite them

When my cousin was in middle school (she lived in Oklahoma at the time) the other middle school in town was declared unfit because of asbestos. My cousin's several years younger than me, I think I was in high school at the time.

They closed the doors to the school and wouldn't let the kids back in, they had staff come in and empty out the kids' lockers in bags and put them in the gym (the only safe place on school grounds) to be picked up.

I think they shortened the school days a bit and had classed during the day and in the evening until a new school could be built.
