This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Matt - glad you are ok.

This weekend. concert tonight, that I am not sure I really want to go to - way tired and very growly. other then that I have no plans except to recover form this week. Though I am working close to the same number of hours - doing them in 3 days instead of 5 - hurts.

I'm unhurt, and my car is driveable if not making the most comforting of sounds when I brake, but this smashes my safe driving record.

I'm glad you're okay! But I'm also laughing bitterly, because where I'm from, being able to drive out of a ditch the ice tossed you in is a valued skill.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Matt! Glad everything is more or less OK.

Fenders suck. They are so spendy.

I am, I hope, doing my taxes this weekend, and getting a nice refund.

I want cake. I suppose this could be arranged.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh yuck, Matt. I'm glad you are ok, but what a pain.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Get dry, Matt!

I'm glad you're okay! But I'm also laughing bitterly, because where I'm from, being able to drive out of a ditch the ice tossed you in is a valued skill.

I do possess some measure of that skill, but not enough to remove a car that entered the ditch backwards and sideways and ended up with a snapped fence post jammed into the wheel well above the rear axle. The tailspin on the highway threw me off my game.

Also sadly lacking in the superhuman strength necessary to lift the car out manually and chuck the fence post like a javelin, which would have been my first choice of extraction method.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even though I had a perfectly good lunch (turkey and brie sandwich), now I want a snack!! Like, cheese balls or something. Also, I want Greek food or pizza for dinner, even though I have perfectly good Thai leftovers in my fridge.

I have many food-related wants.

Damn, Matt, that sucks. Very glad to hear you're okay. I didn't realize you were still getting teh snow. I remember Memphis in snow, scarey place.
