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

I just watched my tape of this week's Smallville and boy was THAT Duke Boy-alicious! I was yelling, "in the window! in the window! and Luke did what I said! Then Bo jumped the car. And I love them in the same naughty way I did at 13 -- and now I get all pitter-pat over the engine noise too. Sighhhhh

Our options for getting to Boston for Christmas are 1) $900 in plane tickets (Eve, being 2, doesn't fly free anymore) or 2) 12-hour drive up I-95. Other paths are even slower but less insane-making.

These feel like no options. We may not be traveling for Thanksgiving OR Christmas.

move out and draw fire

We're dealing with the same thing, flea. The cheap option involves a 30-hour, 4-airport trek with an 8-month old. I think that's illegal under the Geneva Convention.

Condolences to Jilli and Pete on the passing of Dread Beastie. I'm so sorry.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I thought half the reason for having kids was the ability to make people come to you.

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

Jilli, I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jilli, I'm so sorry. And will be giving my cat the Stern Lecture AGAIN.

The good news: I have a nice guy from Dominion Power (Carolinas I think) up in the pole behind my house this very minute. He tells me I'll have power back today!!! Whee!

Excellent news, Laura! Sorry about making your BiL eat beef....

I'm kind of appalled at how few posts there have been in the time I ran errands AND went to a baby shower.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Did you wear lederhosen?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did not, sadly. But do they even wear lederhosen in Bohemia? (The place is actually Bohemian Hall.)

In truly sad news, I'm all excited because my DVR got a What Not To Wear with a guy I've seen in clip shows, but had never seen his whole episode.
