Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get to be Aunt Enforcer. Oh, it's going to be a fun week.

Yikes. Luckily, I'm sure you can do that without being Aunt No-Fun. Due to the scrappyliciousness.

Punishingly Intricate

My surname came up 3320. Which is a little surprisingly high to me. But there are way more of us in the south and west then up here.

My mom's maiden name, a varient spelling of Nora's surname if I'm not mistaken, came up 39833. I'm guessing mostly because they are prolific breeders.

I think I am getting a cold. Which = Bullshit. I have too much work to do today and tomorrow and then have to drive to DE to help parents host great big thanksgiving (see prolific breeder comment in preceding paragraph) and then come back down here and host friends visiting from NY. NO TIME FOR SICK!

(ION, am enjoying the sarameg & Noah tales!)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My last name came in at 616, my mother's maiden name at 141. We're kind of generic-Americans.

I'm hoping they'll close the office early Wednesday ... they often do. I'm not sure I could stand another whole day of what yesterday and today so far have been - wrestling with designers who can't read a spec sheet - with pictures! - and don't understand the difference between low- and high-resolution. snarl.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude. Rodriguez is way up there. Go melting pot.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
