This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

My god, the women volleyball players are cut.

I know people were saying earlier, but goodness.

One of the things that was cool about crewing for dad's triathalons was seeing all the ranges of athletes' bodies. I still recall Mimi(?), who was a 75-80 year old who kicked ass. You'd see her around town, looking like just another slight, little old lady. And then you'd see her at a triathalon in short bike shorts and a sportsbra and holygod. That woman was lean and muscled.

My dad never beat her times, not even when he was at his prime.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

At least he's not wearing a volleyballkini.

Barb, I was trying not to notice that. Thanks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm hoping it is something stupid like simple dehydration.

Yeah, my mother was thinking it was that, but I guess he's been on an IV for hours, and it's not better yet. So, who knows.

Needless to say, I'm thisclose to getting on a bus, but I know it's unnecessary.

I made a smoothie with frozen strawberries and fresh blueberries. It is very tasty but I think I went a little overboard and created a giant mutant smoothie of doom.

Sorry, sara-- I looked up from doing something else and it just ... caught me by surprise.

Blame the hub. He says very bad things sometimes. And then for reasons I don't understand, I post them.

Oh, Jesse. I hope it's cleared up and identified and he's home by morning. Do what you need to.

So shrift, you'll be smoothie-ing for a week?

One of the things I like about this whole wireless deal , is that I'm sitting here and Devi's asleep by my feet, with one paw curled around my big toe, and the other tucked into my arch. She likes "touching" me when she sleeps. Last night Mister Kitty discovered he could lie under one arm and rest his head on the corner of the laptop.

Not great for keeping cathair out of the keyboard, but comforting.
