Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

I LOVE hearing the house building stories! So exciting.

Mom got a charge out of those.

Yay! You were able to get the 'rents to see 'em online?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's like This Old House, but I know the people!

Hee. Also, in This Old House, things move faster. Or if, like, Bob Vila came to my house it would have been done in a half hour. Or at least several half hour segments.

And on This Old House, they never seem to finish a process and say, "Ugh! What is this on my leg?" (Today, the answer was, "That foam stuff. You know, the kind they say you can take off certain things with acetone. But if it gets on your skin, you just have to wait for it to wear off. Or your pants, evidently. Good thing it was the pair with the questionable skull paintings on it, and therefore already not an impress-the-parents-of-your-students pair.")

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The new Futurama DVD comes with a bonus math lecture!

Well, sorta. They still are confounded by youtube. I will get them seeing the giggles and Grace when I next see them. And with flickr, I send them links to static pictures, so I pick and choose. It doesn't take that long to display a full page on dialup, but wave hands helplessly parents.

Oh, & lori, what was the name of that rare car your friend gets to shuttle? It escaped my brain.

Ahahahah! Oh & you can buy jugs of acetone at beauty supply places. In case it is really irritating.

I sent mom [link] and [link] , among others.

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

Noah's such a little man. Patootie.

Those are good ones. Couple a cutieheads in those pictures.

Shelby Cobras. He races 'em with his dad.

If you look at him while he's napping from above, you see pure future little boy. It's really amazing. And I need to get my pictures up. There's a great cheek-splitting grin on my camera. Plus the aforementioned little boy with killer eyelashes.

I've come to the conclusion that if you plop a baby I adore in the picture with me, I will like the picture, regardless of whether it is flattering of me or not. I am such a sucker.

eta: thanks, lori! I thought it was cobra but then suddenly my brain farted.
