Sorry to hear about Eastern Market, Beej. So sad to hear about a neighborhood landmark going up in flames.
ImememeN, I'm now wearing a pair of size 30 jeans. Four months ago, I was wearing size 36.

Am really sad you all missed seeing our dolphin on skates though. On skates! A dolphin! It was madness!
Better than the grown men riding the tricycles? Really? In any case, my friends were certainly converted--they are going to go again next time they have visitors in town.
Sad about Eastern Market. It's such an institution.

It was WAY more dangerous then the tricycles for one thing. She had to sign a waiver!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sucks about Eastern Market. I hope they can rebuild better than ever, and soon.
Unrelatedly, Kathy, you're a ROCK STAR. I can't even express how happy I am for all your progress.

Between melting bridges, mall shootings, burned down neighborhood buildings, the week is off to a rough start for Buffistas!
This is my thinking entirely. I'm wondering about a bad moon rising or a jacked up confluence of stars or summat.

Go you Kathy!
Riding on your coattails, I am 11lbs down in my first month of training for the Marathon. And a total of about 5 inches lost from various body parts. My calves, however, actually grew a half inch. Sigh. No matter what I do with my hips and waist, I will always have calves no boot can cover.

I'm at home with kinder too. Emmett's school has a teacher planning day. Nana is here to look after Matilda, and all three of them will go take a walk in the park shortly. It's gorgeous in SF today and nothing's on fire.
I'll work on the book while they're gone then take Emmett to the East Bay where we'll poke around a bit before our evening game.
I checked with my editor and I've got to the end of next week to turn in my book manuscript. I gave him a rundown on what I've done and he's excited. Of course, they're obliged to say that but I choose to believe him.
We're facing the first place team in our Little League tonight. We're in second so it should be a playoff atmosphere. Should be fun.
Oh yeah...I've got to do the lineup. That takes about an hour because I've got to make sure everybody gets infield time and a fair distribution of bench time.

I will always have calves no boot can cover.
Beej, silhouettes.com and jessicalondon.com are 2 places with wide-calf boots. I can vouch for the excellent fit of boots from Silhouettes.

Ooooh. These would fit! They give the actual calf opening. How excellent is that? Thanks for the tip Steph.
