One problem I have with California dressing is this: so often the mornings and evenings are cool. But midday is a full 30 degree difference so I have to find weather appropriate layers in appropriate grown up attire.

This year, since we have an autumn, we have a similar problem. Other than the "grown up attire", of course, which we don't really bother with, I think.

Kat, Brussells could fit into a longer trip, like you described. Could London do something like that, too? Because if not, then London is better for the 2-days thing, and Brussells for later, right? [Edit: hee. Completely opposite x-post with ita.]

I keep thinking that there are too many "s"s in "Brussells".

but from Dublin, it's much easier to go to London. Or maybe we should fly to Venice. though venice would take longer to fly to; to get to London and Brussels (and I can't figure out how to write that in English. Is it one "L" or two? and it's pretentious as all shit to write it as Bruxelles which is how I know to spell it) is abotu the same time and effort and money.

It cracks me up that fares are cheap but the taxes fees and bullshit are almost 50 times the fare.

Has anyone flown on Song?

I haven't but I saw a doc. on the creation of the brand. Song are folding, I believe I read recently.

Jealous of the travel plans.

I ended up getting to spend the afternoon with my nephew yesterday. He's always a blast. Then I also got to spend two hours in the cold watching the "Festival of Light" (Xmas) parade. Still thawing out.

My nephew, at the end of our supper in a restaurant last night says, "I could kill for a home cooked meal right now." And we laughed. Then his mom asked him what kind of home cooked meal he was thinking of. He said, "Chicken nuggets and fries." Which sent us into hysterics.

Or we could go for two days in Prague.

though Prague and Venice are both twice as much as flying to Bruxelles (I've given in) or London.

Is it wrong of me to be pleased that native English speakers, who teach, and even teach writing, have similar spelling problems like me? Even though theirs are more sophisticated and even have reasons, while mine are just "my fingers get confused"? [Edit: and another sort of spelling x-post]

Sue, how old is your nephew?

Hey! Things are going well, and are finally looking up on the job front.

I've also had a some scary low blood-pressure episodes over the past two days, but that's another story altogether.

'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"

I could take a shower, but it would be wrong. Well, actually, the trouble is two-fold, first I'd use up hot water that I'd just have to use again. (It's a form of astanga yoga, which is rather calmly strenuous, and I sweat like a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer Florida afternoon, so I really do have to shower after.) And also, it's damn cold here this AM, so my hair probably won't dry before I go out to yoga, even.

Really, it would be all too easy to get back in bed and curl up, but that would be wrong. Also, it will be Wednesday before there's another Basics (beginner's level) class offered at a time that I can make.

Why does getting healthy have to be so hard? ::whine::
