oh, NYistas, given the retirement news this week, I saw Steve Dunleavy in the lobby at work last week, old old looking, he was retrieving a briefcase at his feet with a cane. Couldn't place him until I saw the news today.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, were you the one looking for black linen capris? Because Orvis has these in their tent sale, but they're cargo, so I dunno if that's what you were looking for.
I was! But not cargo so much. Also, I only want to spend $20. That's my real issue with finding what I'm looking for... Also possibly my issue with them dying after a couple of years.

Don't tempt me to tranq them.
You could tranq them with TV. I try not to fall back on that tactic very often, but if I'm not feeling well I'll use it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tonight we are having dinner with an old friend and catching up. He has been working on an adaptation of a best-selling Asian novel about Mongolia (called "Wolf Totem") for a film, met a woman on a Mongolian political chat board (!) while reserching, hung out with her when he went out there to research without telling any of his friends (!!) and then she came out here for two months and is going to come back and live here with him for good (!!!!!!).
Saturday, I pack for my business trip, clean house and see our other friends for a movie. Sunday, fly to Minneapolis.

TV is of limited use with a two year old, unfortunately. At least, my current one. Short attention span for it.

We are going over to the in-laws house to celebrate by BIL's birthday tonight.
Tomorrow I'm (maybe we) taking the kids to a nice park where they have a duck pond, two playgrounds, and a miniature western town.
I suppose there will be some mowing this weekend as well.
And cleaning, there's always cleaning.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Horse tranquilizers!"
That's how I explain it to my mother. To friends I call it a date rape drug. It's possible I'm not yet reconciled to this course of treatment.
Had another sleepless night last night. Small nap this morning, but still feeling grainy. But now I have an Ambien script, so this weekend will be spent regularising my sleep schedule. It's out of control. If I can't make the pain go away I might as well sleep through it.

Oh man, two is tough. They need almost constant surveillance so they won't get into/onto/under stuff they shouldn't and nothing distracts them for long.
We're lucky right now, the weather is nice and we can just tell the kids to go outside if they get too crazy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just promise us you won't date rape yourself.

My mom was just here for the week, but I feel like I got no extra rest out of it. Mac was not allowing her to sub in for my mom duties at night, so the biggest benefit for a family visit (from my standpoint) was lost. Therefore, I am ti-red. I can sleep in tomorrow while he watches cartoons, but what I am really craving is lounge about alone time.
