Wouldn't she hang out with just Isaac?

They do, but it's only been the past few months that I can leave them on their own for 15 minutes to 1/2 hour at a time. Before that some catastrophe would always bring me in to check on them every few minutes. So as they grow older they will no doubt think of themselves as playing on their own, but from my current POV it's a relatively recent development.

I know for sure because she took me for an excellent dinner when I had a business trip there!

Dude, that's how I know for sure too.

I loved the nightie-as-long-hair thing.

And the arms were so nifty tie your hair back with. God, we must have ripped out my mother's Black Power heart repeatedly with those shenanigans, but she's exactly the kind of mother that would refuse to make a deal about it, in case we decide we have to go 180° on her.

An Inconvenient Truth: The Opera!

La Scala officials say the Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce an opera on the international multiformat hit for the 2011 season at the Milan opera house.

Heh. One of my earliest memories of my little sister (so, I would've been just turned four, and she a baby) was her being on a blanket in the living room, and for some reason, I reaaaaaaly wanted to jump over her. Dunno why. But I really really really did. And I knew it would not be permitted. So I ASKED if I could. My mom was in the other room, and was like "Uh, hell no?" And I was like "PLEASE????" And mom had to come into the room and be like "What on EARTH???" And I kept pushing it like, "Can I just STEP over her??"

I have no idea what compelled me. (The power of CHRIST perhaps?)

We weren't allowed to because you weren't allowed to do that to people who were still growing.

A nation without leapfrog.

Is it too late to ask what people are doing this weekend?

Timelies all!

Washington Folk Festival is this weekend. Hope the weather's nice.

I'm probably having dinner with a friend tonight, library and a movie tomorrow, laundry Sunday. Also getting over this fucking cold, ideally. If it wasn't so close and I didn't have to eat anyway, I'd totally bail on dinner. Ugh.

I'm going to see Sex in the City. Nothing else if I can help it.

Yes.
