Does that mean we won't get mail on Tuesday?

I discover WWDTM on podcast and it's great. Podcasts made the 7 hour bus ride to my parents house far more palatable.

David, you should check out the CBC podcasts. Especially Ideas, if you like longform thinky documentaries (recent topics have included unclassified Cold War archives, new religious philosophy and organic food.) and Radio 3 for indie Canadian bands. [link]

I also love the C'est La Vie word of the week. I am learning French a word at a time.

I had a cat who'd hunt broccoli. And then growl while eating it. She was odd.

Best.Cat.Story.Evah!

Thanks for the b-day wishes.

I am grumpy about it, as usual. Aside from you all and my coworkers, the only acknowlegement I've gotten was from my oldest sister who said she bought me a card, but doesn't have my current address. The one I've had for SIX years! None of the other 5 siblings have been heard from.

I ate an entire bag of Hershey's sugar free dark chocolate and now am a little sick to my stomach. I hate birthdays.

I don't know, but Burger Kings have their flags at half-mast.

Hmm. DH and I were discussing whether flags were supposed to be flown half-mast for 30 days by governments. Burger joints never came up.

I'm so out of tune with the world that the first flag I saw at half-staff (before I knew Ford had died), I thought to myself, "DAMN! James Brown must be way more important than I've given him credit for if all the government buildings are flying flags at half-staff for him!"

nah, you just have your priorities in order :)

Hey Kat, I left you and lori several green bean related messages, was it annoying?

I'm taking my nephew on his first train ride tomorrow. We're going to Boston to the Children's Museum, because they have exhibits just for toddlers on Fridays.

I'm worried about losing my bearings, because I haven't taken the T in so long and now there's this weird silver line thingy. I'm pretty sure we can just walk up Dot Ave and take a left onto Congress, and I printed out a handy street map that says this is so, but still. Nervewracking with a toddler in tow (in a stroller, bundled up like The Mummy) on a cold day.

Silver line's all buses, and shouldn't get in your way. You'll be fine. I hope you have fun.

Allyson's a kick ass auntie.
