Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthdays, y'all!

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

Matt! Cash! megan! ita's dad! Canadian Thanksgiving! Sukkot!

This day has a lot of exclamation points. I approve.

Hippo Birdies to all!

Trudy, I read about the sand dune collapse before I came here and felt so bad for the kids and their families -- and to learn that the one kid has a Buffista connection like that brings back the feeling intensely. I hope that he can recover fully -- that he knew his mom is a good sign that there may be no lasting brain damage. Fingers crossed!

Totally unrelated to that, except that it's good news that we can share, Paul "Conscience of a Liberal" Krugman won the Nobel Prize in Economics this morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh wow, so many birthdays! Happy happies, everyone!!!

I just found out that my neighbor and I have the same birthday. We also have sons born 4 weeks apart, meaning that we probably had this conversation last year and forgot about it in a baby-induced haze of sleep deprivation.

Happy Birthday to Matt, Cashmere and Megan!

Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadians!

You should see how beautiful and fall like the small trees outside my buidling (office) look against our very overcast sky.

Happy Birthday, Matt, Cashmere and megan walker!!

Looks like today is the last day of our Indian summer. We've had lovely high-70s temps for most of last week, today is supposed to be a high of 79. The rest of the week it's sinking down into the 50s. I'm really not ready for winter to come.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday to Matt, Cashmere, Megan and ita's dad!

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
