Oy, Baltimore public transport. Last time I went to trapeze, which generally requires a MARC from DC to Baltimore Penn Station, and then a light rail to Camden Yards (since the MARC from DC to Camden Yards only runs super early in the morning), they were doing "improvements" to the light rail which meant that it wasn't stopping at Penn Station. We had to walk to the U of Baltimore station and catch it there.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday juliana!
When it gets out that my brother was a Marine, I think it will add more fuel to the fire.
I've been thinking about that myself. Oy! I hope it all settles down soon, and that you get to see the neph soon--neice too, or am I misremembering?
Frances's current obessions are American Girl dolls and, today at least, a beautifully illustrated copy of Rumplestiltskin.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Joe Blanton was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league second baseman Adrian Cardenas, pitcher Josh Outman and outfielder Matthew Spencer.

Happy birthday to all the birtday boys and girls.
I know this is way late but, { { { { { { { {ND} } } } } } } } } I'm so sorry for your loss.

Uhg. Hey, when my parents were here and we were walking from the Aquarium to the Visionary Art Museum, we got to see a trap session. I thought of you. Not so sure I'd want to try it, but it was fun to watch.
Baltimore's transit sucks if you don't live and work on one of the two lines. There are buses, but that's more complicated and they suck (as drivers too!) My neighborgirl takes the metro to a couple of buses to get to school down in Federal Hill.
We did take the MARC down to DC for the Folklife. So I have teensy public-transit creds.

I've been exchanging emails with my ex-coworker (he was laid off 3-4 years ago.) We always send each other birthday emails (his is the day after mine) and then lose touch until the next or something major happens.
But we've been going back and forth since the latest, and man, I miss him. He was the best officemate ever: a good friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, how's the jaw?

Doing pretty good. Not 100% but paranoia is way down. I still can't open all the way without ache and I've got a lump on the second injection site, but that's not a new thing. Crown tooth is still not perfect, but isn't alarming me the way it was last night. OK, the way it was TOTALLY FREAKING ME OUT last night. I was a little unhinged, frankly. I guess the toothache from before was kinda traumatizing.

So tonight I was in the grocery store. I crossed paths several times with a guy and his wife about my parents' age. I smiled and acknowledged them each time. The last time I encountered him, he stopped me "I'm not trying to be creepy, but you are really beautiful and have a wonderful smile that lights everything up." His wife added in "He's right!"
It was sweet. I was wearing a shirt that I felt was unflattering these days, my bras aren't fitting right, I felt bloated and lumpy and I was sweaty and just tired and feeling like ass.
Kinda made me feel less lumpy and sweaty and bloated. Kinda made me like peoples a wee bit. Cause they can just make a nice gesture, unwarranted.
