Morning! I was awakened in the night by loud thunder, most of which moved by the east of us, so I sat up and caught up on some stuff for a while, including that night's Daily Show, then I went back to sleep and slept really soundly... so that my roommate had to wake me up at 7:30 with the news that water was coming out of the top of our water heater.
I got up and after enough time for consciousness to be driving the tug boat, went down to look in the cellar. The roommate, who is not to be entirely trusted in an emergency, neglected to shut off the water going into the hot water heater, so that it continued to drip and make a mess. Unfortunately, she's right about the dripping, which seems to be bubbling up out of the gap in the top where I think the exhaust from the burning gas is supposed to escape. Clearly this is beyond my slim powers of repair.
So... that's my morning so far. Last night I literally fell on my face in yoga....
Poor Theodosia. I hope the rest of the day is better.
I had a dream last night that I moved in with Hec and JZ -- though in the dream they lived in a big house, not the cool apartment they have now -- and it was all good and we all got along....except for, at bedtime, they told me I had to go across the street and sleep in the hobo camp.
JZ says: "We would never make one of our friends go sleep in the hobo camp. Those people have manky feet."
What a relief!

Wait wait! I bet I know this. Pressure relief valve.

Okay, this is my new favorite thing: there is an elephant sanctuary in *Tennessee* for "retired" circus elephants. I spent about 2 hours last night looking all around the Web site -- it's pretty incredible.
AND it has an ElephantCam! Three of the elephants are swimming RIGHT NOW!!!
The ElephantCam rocks! Sara was thrilled -- live animals! In Mommy's comuter! Swimming! Pure bliss.
Gus, if it'll make you feel better, I've had at least one dirty Zmayhem dream. And, in a *COMPLETELY* unrelated thought, Corwood and I have hijacked Movies for "Wire" chat again. Come on down and piss off the cineastes with us, huh, bunk. It's all in the game, since they won't give us a TV Snobs thread or something.
You guys, I must confess, going to the gym in the morning is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. I got home at 12:30 last night, woke up at 6:30 this morning to run and I'M TIRED. And not on vacation today, like seemingly everyone else. Who gets Monday off?
LOVE the ElephantCam!! So much more active than the pandas!
