Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Can you take the MARC to Camden Yards and walk over? It's not that far, I don't think. I know the MARC schedule is wacky though.

That was the plan. The wackiness of the MARC schedule is what's messing stuff up.

Oh, lisa, that sucks! LEEPs are seriously unfun, as is the recovery.

It's going to be hot and humid as hell all week so I need to figure out stuff to do with the kids that doesn't involve spending money. I can't take them to the pool by myself and it's too hot to spend all but a very few minutes outside.

This may involve long, leisurely mall walks with the stroller.

argh, yeah. Why does our public transportation system have to suck SO badly?! I hope you can work it out! I'm afraid to do high-flying due to needing to wear glasses and how they'd fly off and then I'd be flying blind! But should I get contact lenses again in the future I'll definitely try it.

This sounds like a reasonable option.

I am insanely jealous of my friends who just left for a two week vacation in Seattle and some nearby island and Victoria, BC. They were bringing SWEATERS with them.

I, on the other hand, am about to go someplace that is actually hotter than it is here (although not by much...plus everything is ACed there and it's a dry heat!)

We're going to Hawaii next month and I'm actually looking forward to the rainforest and the beach rather than this land-locked, armpit weather.

Owen just informed me that he wants to "go see horses and up/down." Good lord, if he means the State Fair, he's out of luck. No way are we going into THAT in this weather.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We're going to go to the beach this weekend. I can't wait to feel the ocean breeze. I don't love our current apartment, but I do love the AC in the living room. It's making this summer much more liveable.

Libraries are air-conditioned. And they have programs for kiddoes, and books that moms can read during the kid programs!

I don't know if I'll get to the beach at all this summer. Which is stupid because it's not THAT far away. feh.

I do belong to a great pool with a sandy beach though and I took the week after my b'day off and am staying in town so i hope to spend many many hours there.

OMG, remember talking about the Bay Bridge last week? I had a TERRIBLE dream last night that my former boss was driving us across the bridge and he would not slow down even though I was screaming at him. He was going like 100 mph over the bridge. We made it safely across but then I was like, we can't be friends any more because you wouldn't take my terror seriously. And it made me super sad! (He's a terrible driver, in real life, but I don't think he'd make me deliberately terrified!)

Oooh, the LIBRARY! Of course! D'uh. We'll stop there today. Owen's not into the programs (we've tried several times). BUT they have a great play area the kids love and I can pick up a decent book while I'm there. I need to ask them to order paperdol's book while I'm there, too.

The bonus is the library is walking distance of GRAETER'S.

Not my library. ::grump::

The professor being interviewed at 11 by NPR wanted to know how many entities were being sanctioned under a particular executive order. This meant counting by hand from a memo of very small type and trying to figure out whether some Arabic names were of individuals or entities. I came up with 133, another librarian with 142. That's as close as we're going to get, I think.
