Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Glad that your parents don't have to raze the house!

And congratulations on your mother being honored.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Whoops, clarification. My mother is not actually being honored. Catherine Zeta Jones is being honored. My mother is getting a free trip and a donation for the chorus.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I bet the kids are wicked excited, and I hope your mom is, too! How old are the kids?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy Birthday dear Brendy!
You are very bendy!
And you're also quite preeeeeety
In your corset-o-kitty!

How old are the kids?

I'm guessing they're probably not in the high-school age group, so probably 14 and under. But old enough to travel by themselves, with two chaperones.

The status is NOT quo.

Have a Brendarific Birthday!

I am off work today and tomorrow for the last of the Jewish high holidays...so I am in San Diego visiting Cass. We are about to go get food and look at the clouded leopards in the zoo.

You may commence with the jealousy.

ETA: Brenda, Cass says to add her happy birthdays to my post too.

(waves hi to Cass and Kristin and clouded leopards)

Hey - it sounds like a fun trip. Well, I hope your mother has fun -- I bet the girls in the chorus will for sure!

That's great, Dana.

Happy Birthday, Brenda!
