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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, I'm hungry. I'm having lunch, and you can't stop me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Oh, that's exciting, Gud. How's your wife doing?
She has mixed feelings about it. Our son starts homeschooling now as well, so I think she is relieved to only deal with one at a time. The plan is that he will go to public school next year and I think my wife is looking forward to having gardening time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I imagine pork from flying pigs would have less white meat....
Wings are dark meat? I've never thought about it.
I've deliberately made myself late by taking two naps this morning. I guess I should get my ass moving.
I hope your daughter has a great first day, Gud.
