I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My lunch would be improved by bacon, it's true.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You've got pork, so you're halfway there!

Now tagless for your comfort.

We've eaten early--because we lost power AGAIN for awhile there. Nothing more to do with the kids than to feed them.

But the rain's stopped so if the kids are up for it, we'll go to the gym before nap time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Isn't it Terre Haute? (Not Terra Haute)

Huh. It IS "Terre". Now I have to stop laughing at my cousins!

(Well, it still sounds a little funny. They sort of swallow it. At first I had no idea what they were even saying.)

I wonder if they're related to the actual Illinoisans who insist on pronouncing the "s" at and end of the state's name and have you heard how Goethe, Paulina and Devon are pronounced in Chicago?

I've mostly heard Goethe pronounced correctly around here.

Of course, Illinois also has treats like Cairo (KAY-ro) and DeZ Plainz to trip up the unwary. Or edumacated.

Good luck with the power staying on Cashmere.

My lunch is a steak sandwich, should be tasty.

This morning was a big morning, our daughter has her first day of public school at a brand new school. There was a rocky start as we arrived at the bus stop early and yet no bus ever showed up, but I managed to get her there in time. She's pretty excited by it all.

Okay, I'm hungry. I'm having lunch, and you can't stop me.

Oh, that's exciting, Gud. How's your wife doing?

I might get Thai for lunch. There's a post office dropbox on the way, and I need to mail some stuff.
