[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The Spy Museum was like $15 or $18

Ack! That does sound awful expensive. ::shrug:: Plenty else to do!

My ex became a step-grandfather at 27. Seriously. His second wife was 32 when they got married and had a pregnant 14-year-old daughter. I don't think you can get much younger without violating more laws than must already have been.

If I had stayed married, I would have been a step-grandmother at 26. My DExH's eldest daughter was 6 years younger than me and got preggers at 20.

Lordy, I married on my 21st birthday but had no more idea to be a mother than the man in the moon. Fortunately, my husband beat me to the snippage department, so that wasn't an issue.

SO spendy for, what I'm given to understand is a lot of reading and not much wow.

Actually, it's a lot of fun, and there are some cool interactive exhibits. I probably would have been less impressed if I'd paid for it (I took students). I also would caution against weekends, there are a LOT of children there. I also caution against March in general, since it's spring break for a lot of kids, and they are on vacation here.

tap, tap, tap...tapping my foot.

Out of town friend had a bad flight...so instead of meeting us at 10am, she went to bed...was supposed to call after my 1pm appointment but I haven't heard from her.

Should I let her sleep or should I get her up so that she sleeps later? What ARE the rules with W to E jet lag?

A sound point, which I actually did make...but I think there was a desire to see Cherry Blossoms...though I did stress that the festival isn't until the end of the month.

Haven't been down to the Basin lately. ARE there any blossoms out?

We're at our layover in Charlotte. This airport is so big and each of those little tram type things aren't allowed to leave their terminal, so we had to get on 3 different ones to get to our gate. We have a long wait until our next flight. Plenty of time to catch up with my comics.

I can't imagine being a grandmother that young. I'm 30 and can just about imagine being a mom.

not your mom's socks.

bonny - even if there aren't many blossoms out, the freer and sackler have a number of cherry blossom related events this month. [link]

I hope you have a great trip, SJ!

Thanks, Perkins! Today is all about getting there, finding our way to T's and having a big plate of pasta before getting some sleep. T's mom is a fabulous cook, so I'm really looking forward to the pasta.

Have a great trip, sj!
