On one of my two visits to New York, I rode the Staten Island Ferry and then hung out outside the ferry terminal to contemplate the Manhattan skyline for a while. (Why didn't I take my camera on that trip, why, why, why)
As I'm leaning on the balustrade, I hear footsteps behind me and glance around. There, escaped from a full color painting, was an elderly Chinese gentleman in a long orange tunic, pale green loose trousers, a brownish coat, slippers, a small round black hat, and a leather satchel over his shoulder. His beard and moustache were long and perfectly white.
He gave me a very stern look for a few seconds, then continued on his way.
I just wanted to chime in and say that both Jilli and Plei are VERY MUCH INVITED to share my bachelorette party with me!!! I would love to NOT be the center of attention, and I can't think of any two people I'd rather share with!
My book club party went very well. Three people out of eight couldn't make it, and I still barely had enough food. We all loved last month's book (Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl) - we gave it 3.5 stars (out of 4).

Holy crap!
THAT'S MY THERAPIST!
That's the therapist that helped Bec and me during our marriage breakup! Bec and TOG are in that group! (Not Clem and Marie, of course.)
OK, that's freaky. It's a damn small world.

Then why hasn't anyone visited me in Melbourne yet? Pfft. Slackers.

Holy shit! That's so freaky!!!! Wow.
I found that article super depressing when I read it, Sunday. I wasn't sure what it really told me about relationships, though.

One of my friends moved there from Christchurch? Another friend is visiting her at Thanksgiving?

I found it pretty comforting myself. There was only one couple there in truly serious trouble, and even they were getting somewhere.
Oh! And I have (obliquely) been referred to in the NYT! That's pretty cool.

And yet, I still notice an absence of meara. Though you did make it to Sydney, so you get a pass.
I found the article insightful but a bit on the oh-no side.
I hate when it's a brajillion degrees out. it makes me and my son CRANKTASTIC.
Happy Birthday to Dylan.
