I have to say, I'm impressed that you're making the effort to fit in.
The BBQ is well worth 'fitting in'. The "fast food" version of Texan BBQ is better than anything I've had before. I've been mocked for it. But all the good BBQ places stop serving after about 2ish. Once they sell out of the meat they prep'ed for the day, they close up shop. Makes sense, but it sucks. What's a boy to do? (I'd mention the chain's name, but I know this room. I'd get mocked for it somehow).

Hey all. Just a quick note to say that I did eventually get home tonight. I took the Burbank flight, played musical airports, got my car, drove home, watched an episode of Dr. Who, drove Sean home (he'd borrowed Drew's truck earlier that day and so was car-less), and then sat mindlessly in front of the TV for a few hours while I color-coded/organized school stuff. Am now going to collapse in bed.
Smooches. Sleep now.
bt!!!!!!
Hee. Sorry, I headed out of the office after that.
watched an episode of Dr. Who
Which one? (We're up to The Unicorn and the Wasp on Australian TV.)
Cocksackie is viral; there's not much to do about it.
Is there anything the pediatrician can do? Other than confirm or rule out the illness?
No, and in some cases not even that, if it's a nonytpical presentation like Dylan had. We were told to keep him on Tylenol if his fever spiked, and otherwise just keep him away from other kids for a few days. (Though if it's going around the daycare that ship has likely already sailed.)

Hi all. Good to see Kristin finally arrived home. We've had about 8" of rain. Messy but not bad. Tornadoes to the west of us leaving horses without barns. Horsies ok. Only injury I have seen was a kite surfer that was picked up off the water, bounced a couple times on the beach then tossed into a truck on the road. Yep, Darwin at work again.
Looks like I might have a rain break for a little while. Might drive the mile to the office and check things there since I can't reach my computers. Might not have power.
eta: yes, a lot of mights there, like storm track, uncertain

I was gonna say...
Glad all you got was a good soaking.
The weather people here keep saying wistfully how much good a tropical storm could do for the reservoirs. Florida's cloud = our silver lining.
I kept asking folks where the nearest bell tower is, since it seems historically speaking, Texans do that kinda thing, but nobody would tell me where one is.
He was sitting up there in the Texas tower
Way up there for more than an hour
Shooting from the 22nd floor
He didn't choke or stab or slit them
Not our Charles Joseph Whitman.
He won't be an architect no more.

eta: Sorry about the bold. Not enough coffee.
Kristin, I'm so glad you finally made it home!
I did NOT sleep well last night. Stupid asthma.
Anyone have any ideas about removing mold from the inside of a window AC unit? I'm thinking that's not helping me. I didn't even realize it was as bad as it was until I took a little glance last night. Yuck. Need the AC, but wow, that *cannot* be helping me.
I hope for Georgia's sake that you do get some good soaking. It would be lovely if it would stall over Lake Okeechobee here for some time since it is still 3' down. I need to stay away from the weather blogs since they are making noises about it heading out to the Gulf to get its organization thing going on.
My plan to check on the office just got scrapped by another tornado warning. Silly storm. All in the path please stay safe. Kids want to go play in the wind. Um, not while the tornado warning is up. I'm such a mean mom.
