Slip and slides are a mystery to me.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Where in Mt. Washington?
You know that road to get to the Whole Foods? If you take a left after the bridge there's a ice skating rink, a post office, and the pool back there. That kid umm...Michael...whatever the Olympian from here trained there, evidently.
a blow up pool in your yard has me flashing on that house on the corner of Falls by the gas station that always seems to have some sort of seasonally themed blow up SOMETHING.
haha! Yes! I love those people. There really is something blown up to celebrate some occassion in their yard and/or on their porch At All Times.

lisah's yard is quite long enough for a slip and slide without traffic hazards or head injuries.
We could put it on the sidewalk. Or in the alley out back! (It would be painful though)

Bwah! I just read a blogger's entry at God Is Patient (I Am Not) that said
Pop psychology dictates that I dreamed of a snake because I saw the snake on Survivor. Must try harder to make sure this dude is the last thing I see before I go to bed.
with an insert picture of Tyron Leitso. I'm thinking that's a good plan.

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
A gigantic rubber duckie? That is so trippy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dominic's favorite pasttime when he was 1.5 (wow, forgot a summer) was smashing down the inflatable sides of the pool and watching the water cascade down the driveway. He emptied many a pool that summer.Hee!
I was sending a small child running around my mom's yard a few years back and sent him straight through her fence. I've gotten a lot better now about making sure there is adequate room before loosing the small critters.

A gigantic rubber duckie? That is so trippy.Kinda is. The place sells patio furniture, gazebos and I expect the pool. Or it's a fetish I just don't want to know about.
Yay for Ethan and His Blurb! I am reading the whole thing now.

Huh. There's stuff back there? My navigation in Mt. Washington is limited to the vets office else I get all turned around (thank you, btw, for pointing me to them for boarding. They spoil Mister Kitty rotten and are his primary vet now.)

Ack. My neighbor came to borrow a corkscrew. And the cork completely disintegrated. I feel bad, though I suspect it was just the cork. I send her off with a tea strainer.

Yay! I love them. Even though my favorite doctor there abandoned us and moved to northern California. (Where he works, as far as I know, for an emergency vet in Marin right now but he is planning to open his own practice in SF. When he does I'll let SF-istas know because he really is the best vet I ever had. Also. DorkyHot.)
