Spending your birthday in Ft. Wayne! Exciting. Only you'll miss Bluffton's Street Fair the week after. Bluffton's only 20 minutes south of Ft. Wayne. cc: Abi.
Great. I'm missing Ft. Wayne's exciting thing.
This will be the third time I spend my birthday trip with Abi, the second with the Miracleborns. Cashmere (and Deena? she's nearish too, right?) I'd love to add you to the tradition of Buffistas making my whack-ass birth date happy once again. (It started in 2002 when I spend it in Halifax with Elena, her DH, Sue, and the rest of the Haligonians).
Most of 'em do back off when you make the hurt kitten noise. Their little walnut brains just don't remember next time (in appr. one and a half minutes) they get the urge to wrestle-subdue-kill!
Robin, did I say? I thought it made it out my finger-ends, but maybe I only thought it really loud--your house is adorable! I really love that vintage house.
Aimee! Congratulations! A palace for the Imperial family, yay!

I'm sure they will be more fun while you're there! I'll have to see what's up when we get back from Hawaii. We'll be coming to pick up the kids on the 13th and back home for Owen to go to preschool but I'll see what I can do for a road trip to the Summit City (yeah, it's called that).

I played a couple rugby games at UWSP. It wasn't too bad - very bucolic.

It's really pretty good. The details are more NSFW than the overall image (where you really can't make out much).

I just spent 10 minutes on the phone trying to give a woman directions on how to get here. I don't drive to campus, so I rely on the directions we have posted to tell me street names and numbers of traffic lights. She keeps saying things like, "is that after that little bridge, you know where they have that statue thing?"
It's so hard to be helpful sometimes.
Sparky - giving directions is becoming a thing of the past. So many people just MapQuest or Google directions now.
