We all girt ourselves in tights and went urban-spelunking on your behalf. There might have been kissing, too, but I went to bed early.

So, yes.

In completely other news, Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, the guy who blew people up because he had a thing about government and control and, actually, he was crazy (still is) but his crazy revolved around being part of systems like electrical grids and tenure-review? Right now, he's in prison (although he tried to kill himself, I think more than once, when first incarcerated), and maybe it's a sign of his increasing sanity that he is using the federal courts to challenge the US government's sale of his personal writings.

I mean, probably his lawyer told him to, but, hello to the irony!

How are you doing?

I also have fairly recent photos

Okay, so if anyone wants to verify my whereabouts yesterday, you guys totally saw me.

Oh, Gud, even Leif is already completely a child by now, no more a toddler. How old are they now?

And I love how both their faces in those pictures, different as they may be, are so full of expression. I could almost cuddle on the carpet beside them and join their game, just from looking at them.

Ack, Nilly. That sucks.

msbelle, wait, I missed something. Did the teacher try claiming that Mac just fell?

So today is going to be lone "relax and enjoy it" day of my vacation, it looks like. Previously there was find a job stress, yesterday was filling out paperwork and tomorrow is taking the GF to the hospital for assorted tests, including the ultrasound.

Plans for today include going out to lunch with a bunch of my old coworkers, picking up my pulls from the comic shop, and being a complete and utter bum for the remainder. As goals go, I think that's quite managable.

I seriously can't believe that that big girl used to be TCBITW. Where did the baby go?

You were right here the whole time, shrift.

They are four and seven now. They are growing up fast.

Kalshane! I didn't post with you for so long, I never got to wish you luck on the job hunt, because by the time we did get to post together, that was already in your past, as well.

At least your GF didn't give birth yet, so I can wish you good luck, health and all good things on that front!

You were here the whole time too shrift. If they ask why your wave function didn't collapse, I'll make something up.

Wait, so if I don't post for a day, an alarm goes off in the batcave?

I e-mailed you about many important things, including my ass, and heard nothing. Clearly something was wrong.

Or my e-mail drove you into hiding.
