I just had an interesting thought--Bill Clinton, Secretary of State. Or maybe Ambassador to someplace important. He's known worldwide, the world remembers him fondly as a friend and someone competent. If they trot the Clintons off to the pasture, it will be a huge waste.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Skipping (boy, I really need to break this habit) to post that, according to Nutty "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 28, 2003 2:08:39 pm PDT today is Casper's birthday.
The only way I can believe she's five years old already is because I practiced my suspension of disbelief last week, regarding Franny's age.
Happy birthday, Casper! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year to flea and all the rest of the family, as well!

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Happy Birthday, Casper!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I might just have to go dance drunkenly on the in-laws' lawn.
I'll bring a boom box—just let me know what music you want.
Happy Birthday, Casper!

Awwww!
How is she taking the move and all? Exciting times for a little person!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Happy Birthday, Casper!
Shir, you asked yesterday what Israeli movie I was watching -- it was Ha'Ushpizin.
Ugh. I'm back in DC now, and have to deal with university bureaucracy today. I so don't want to.
