Did they at least fix the AC? Not that it's going to be quite so necessary today.

What is even happening?

Oh Stephanie, we suck. I'm so sorry.

Sparky, we gave Chris a bat and glove, and a Razor Kick Scooter. If I were a single parent, he wouldn't have gotten scooter. My mum gave him a bunch of neat stuff, including a camera watch with some spy gear software. He had a great birthday, and his party is next Thursday. We're making a Superman movie at it.

Cindy, 7 is not that old. I swear. It's turning ten, into the double-digits, that's really tragic.

Oh yeah, the double digits are weird. Ben turned 11 in January. In my head Ben is 7, Julia is 4 and a half, and Chris is 3. Of course that's the year he disappeared on us (and the year my dad died, and the year we moved and a bunch of cruddy stuff happened), so erm...Welcome 7!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've kind of given up on doing Actual Work today. It makes sense in my head because I have a meeting from noon-2, and then I'm leaving at three. But it seems I do have quite a bit of stuff I'm supposed to get done. Hmph.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We are the Internet equivalent of a triple espresso with whipped cream. Mmmm...whipped cream.

How cool is this news?

New 'super-Earth' found in space

In just 15 years, we've gone from wondering if there are other planets to finding an Earth-like (at least in size and probable temperature) planet only 20 light years away.

Now we just need to make a probe and wait for a couple thousand years to check it out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks for posting the link to the Ebert column, ita -- I knew he'd had to have his jaw removed and rebuilt because of the cancer, but this is the first picture I've seen. It's good to read that he's well enough to go to the movies again.
