What is even happening?

vw, that baby hat is adorable! I love the colors, and the way the white yarn mimics a fur-lined cap. Great job. I forget, do you know if the baby is to be a niece or a nephew?

Kristin, I hope the trip is smooth sailing.

Hil, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thanks! The light yarn is actually a creamy yellow. It didn't show up great in the picture. The colors are really sweet together.

And I don't know if it's a niece of nephew yet. We might find out next week, if the baby cooperates. My SIL is pretty sure it's a girl, though, which would be *really* fun, 'cause on three of the four sides of the family there are no girls. But, a boy would be much fun too. Happy and healthy. That's what I want.

The status is NOT quo.

Wow, vw--gorgeous hat!

Kristin! Have a wonderful adventure with the girls. May there be many giggles and few tears.

Backflung, sj! Sorry it took so long, but I was at work-teaching a class for first time homebuyers.

I'm melting. Just had to help DH with a chore outside. Came back in to check the weather to see what was what and if any rain was possible. The forecast is for a high of 82 today with a current temperature of 90. That ain't right. They say the high tomorrow will be 81. I think they lie.

Thanks, DJ!

{{{Raq}}} That is completely unacceptable. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

are there any mathy types about? I'm trying to figure out the percentage change from 253 to 494. The context:

In the first eight years of the program’s existence, the number of women college presidents increased from 154 to 253, a 65% increase. Of the 2,148 colleges surveyed by the ACE in 2006, over 20 years later, only 23% had women presidents, about 494, a xx% increase over 1985's total of 253.

God, I'm stupid. I know this is very basic but I don't know it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

494 is 195% of 253, so that's a 95% increase.
