meara, although I wish you'd stayed in this Washington, the transportation "planning" here seems to be hitting new lows. New shopping center at 14th and Irving/Park (including a Target) - lots of shoppers and they did build a garage. BUT! the developer wanted wide sidewalks so ... rather than reduing the buildings' footprints, they narrowed the street! And our new rail cars - the radios in the new cars aren't compatible with the system's radios ... so operators have to carry hand-held radios to communicate. THAT frightens me.

I wonder what the season for nude fishnets is.

connie, it was deliberate.

Haverford's traditional rival was Swarthmore and, at halftime, the marching kazoo and jug band would march (sort of) out onto the field and form a "half-S" in their honor. (This is the school where one year there was no football due to lack of interest.)

There is no beer here, but TCG is bringing home wine. Yay wine!

the best thing about St Patrick's day is the sale priced Guinness.

All year!

My faves (Spanx) are expensive but have lasted me YEARS.

Yeah, I've also got a pair of Spanx fishnets that have lasted me a while.

I just ordered this headboard: [link] . Seemed like the best balance I could find between "not horribly expensive" and "not horribly ugly."

ok, I'm not here. I swear. I am really in the studio, compiling cues for a show that "has all its sound cues already" and trying to come up with a montage with two COMPLETELY different ideas from people other than me. Can we say too many cooks in the kitchen? Head::desk::THUNK

{{KT & Byron}} May Monday come fast for you and all news be good (and cheap).

By boss, who is against gay marriage because marriage is between a man and a woman only thinks that gay marriage is on a slippery slope toward polygamy and me marrying my cat. Strangely, she doesn't seem to have a problem with actual gay people, but she feels it shouldn't come up at work.

bonny, how'd your sessions go today?

Great, thanks!

I was really pleased that the first one, which I thought might be difficult, went better than I could have hoped. The second one also went really well and resulted in a request for another session next weekend. YAY!

Both dogs were sweeties, one very old and one untrained. Both the people were open to direction and seemed to really soak up the advice.

It was also a good opportunity to assess how I'll do these in future. 1) I need to find a place where I meet people regularly. The travel time between appointments is a problem if I am going to be scampering all over the Hill on foot.

AND, I need a standard set of tips that I give everyone at the outset.

I'm thinking of calling them The Grounding Rules. Is that something a doggy lama would offer? Or is it too much of a pun?

eta: Hm. Just as I hit send, it occurred to me that the catch phrase sounds like an apprentice program for optometrists.
