Dylan in the park pictures are great! Yay swings!

Noah's not toddling yet, but he is finally crawling. Zing!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Crawling Noah! Mobile baby!

I've got a bunch of clothes to donate. All in pretty good condition, barely worn, mostly stuff where I tried something on in one color and then bought it in a bunch of colors and then realizes that one of the other colors was just cut totally wrong. So mostly, t-shirts that are labeled large but fit more like medium. I'm trying to find somewhere to donate them. And I can't find anywhere to donate that I can get to without either a car or several metro transfers.

This was much easier in the suburbs. Put everything in big yellow bags on the porch, call the Vietnam Vets organization, and they'd come pick it up. I don't know how to donate stuff in DC.

It's way easier to donate stuff with the use of a car, for sure. Which reminds me that I really gotta cull and clear stuff soon.

Thanks, Kat!

Did you guys hear about this? - Somebody burned a $$ house near Mayor Daley's summer cabin and sent a letter saying that it was because of the shooting of the cougar earlier this spring. (They meant to burn down the Mayor's house and accidentally burnt down the much more expensive house near the Daleys' summer place.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You'd think with that kind of money he'd be able to afford LASIK.

It doesn't fix presbyopia, the disorder you need reading glasses for. So for those of you considering, it may not seem worth it once you realize you will need to use reading glasses later in life. Still worth it, for me!

LOLMom Story:

My Mom: Hi Glen, I'm really glad I took that course in non-violent communication from you.

Glen: glad you liked it.

MM: Yeah, I used to be bad at arguing, but with your techniques I get the other side flustered and frustrated and angry.

Glen: Umm, that really was not the point of non-violent communication training.

My Mom: Oh no, it's great. I win. They lose. That's the way I want the argument to go.

Glen: !!!
