I took too much nap.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am very glad that I live on top of a hill. The flooding here seems to have become severe.

Yeah, they are reporting sewage backups in east B'more. Which is making me really grateful for renting a 3rd floor apartment in NW B'more. I mean, I want a house. I want a rowhouse. But I really, really, really gross out over raw sewage in my house. I'd want to move. I have had nightmares during hurricanes about mold and mildew (yeah, I'd be GONE.) When I was in NC for Hurricane Francis, the sub-basement flooded (I lived in a semi-basement of someone's home near a lake) and it freaked me out big-time. The idea of water of unknown origin fermenting 3 feet below me is just...gross.

My parents were talking about a nor'easter back in the 60s/70s when they lived in Scituate, Mass. The ocean invaded their front yard and slapped their windows with foam. Threw a picnic table through their neighbor's picture window. I crossed Scituate off my list of places to live. Ooky water in wrong places is not my thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw -- I have family in Scituate, but they're kind of in the woods.

My parents rented a summer beach house. Except they were there for 2 years, so they got winter too. Mom recalls the cold drafts, cause beach houses aren't ideal for that. They were a block or two from the water. Last I was in the Boston area, I tried to find the house, but with public transit, it wasn't doable as far as I could figure out. I got as far as Quincy (eta: or maybe Hingam, it's been a while) en route to Worlds End, which was lovely.

I am full and tired. Went running this morning, and then drove up to Muir Woods, where we went for a 5-6 mile hilly hike, and then to the Marin Headlands, and then to Ocean Beach for a great dinner at the Beach Chalet. Am full and very sleepy. Not sure I'll stay awake for all of Drive.

TAR (I am tivoing Drive, to watch on delay): The yield is still not cheating. Get over it. The fast forward would have freaked me out, but it looked really cool. Danny and Oswald are the only team left I like, so I am glad they got it. As little as I like Mirna and Charla, I was impressed with their performance on the detour. Then I laughed at the ferry thing.

Art Crawl!!!
TAR: I know! I am really sick of Charla and Mirna's self-righteousness about everything and yeah, that yield had NOTHING to do with you. (And probably helped them -- I bet Eric and Danielle would have at least caught up to them if they hadn't been yielded.) I don't know when I suspected that this might be an NEL but I'm glad it was because E&D almost caught up. The ferry thing was hilarious. And I liked the tasks for this leg - they were all fun. I wonder if we'll get a two-episode leg this time.

Whoops. Taxes must be mailed by tomorrow, April 16. April 17 is only for certain states, none of which I am in. Maine, MD, MA, NH, NY, VT, DC.
Guess I better get on that.
