I've had a lovely conversation going with the Isle of Wight Bat Hospital.
I'm still in breakdown mode on the book. If I didn't have a writing partner depending on me to pull my shit together, I'd have moved to Canada and changed my name by now.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh, and the best part of this birthday is, that this year my Hebrew birthday date coincides with the general date of today, which is Emmett's birthday. This is the Buffista Calendar's birthday present to me.
Awww, Emmett needs the special blessing of sharing a birthday with Nilly today. He's having kind of a crappy day.
And Matilda had a full on, separation anxiety, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" meltdown and tantrum this morning. You know the kind where you have to shove a sobbing toddler into their car seat against their will or you'll be late for your temp job that you just started after an extended period of not-working so you can't afford to not be there? That kind of morning? Yeah.

They don't really ship cakes, so you'll have to celebrate within 4 hours of Baltimore.
PERFECTION!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm going to be within 4 hours of Baltimore soon!
That reminds me, I need to make hotel reservations.

An articulate, smart, charismatic, uninhibited liar can actually do pretty well in this kind of debate format.
I thing that annoys me about debates is expectations being built on intelligence, experience and actual debate skills. Those are nice and all, but this isn't debate club, what is really important is communication and message. That's what makes Bush a good debater, he stays on message and frames his answers in simple, absolute terms.
I give McCain the advantage in the upcoming debate based on their performances at the Saddlebrook forum. Hopefully, the Obama camp will be better prepared this time.

Aw. I hope things go better for the Zmayhem clan as the day goes on.
Nilly and Emmett in one day? That's a hell of a good day.
