neave = leave, yep. Gavin picked it out. He calls her Neavey. Because it rhymes with Grampie Stevie.
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Adorable pictures of adorable kids. That last one is particularly cool.
I'd think irridescence, under water, through glass would stymie even a professional photographer with her/his own camera.
I'm super fascinated by that phenomenon, actually -- presidents appointing justices who end up going against what the president would have gone for. I wonder if that will happen anymore.
It happened with Souter. I actually think there's a good chance the phenomenon is still live, for the same reasons inexperienced political candidates like Obama and Hillary are the front-runners: less history, less to oppose. Someone you know like Alex Kozinski or Posner will never be nominated.
Allyson, they're gorgeous! I can't get over how big Gavin's gotten. He's a full-fledged little boy.
Liese, that was largely the logic I used (except I don't vote in that state.) There are some things that give me serious, personal caution, but he's elucidated his position on those things, and while I don't agree, they are positions he's willing to still debate.
Too fucking bad he's a snowball in hell. I honestly think he'd be an excellent president, even if I didn't always agree with him. He'd help us, not hurt us.
Allyson, you SO need to get a copy of Gavin and his reflection. That's awesome.
You got neat niecphewlets.
Adorable kids!
OK, they just brought out the Democratic candidates to share the stage with the GOP on the West Coast feed.
I wish we had a halftime show instead of a commercial break. A GOP marching band playing "God Bless America" while spelling out "9/11" on the stage, and then the Dems come out and perform a medley on the theme of change.
He was cute. He thanked me for the penguins. And my mom thanked me about a dozen times for the membership (it comes with four guest passes) saying it was the BEST GIFT EVER! over and over.
It was a really great day.
Seriously, it was 115 for a membership, and that comes with a fossilized shark tooth, four adult passes, two iMax tix, and a discount in the gift shop. It paid for itself in one visit. Highly recommended.
He thanked me for the penguins.

Eta: those pictures are all great, but that last one is really something special
