Mother's Day appears to happen in early-to-mid May. I think it's usually the weekend after the Derby and before the Preakness? I dunno. I just go to the events I'm told to attend, y'know?
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Okay: this year Mother's Day should be May 10th.
The Derby is on May 2nd and the Preakness on May 16th.

HA! I was correct! (The Derby being on the first Saturday in May and all that.)
It scares me that I still tell spring dates by horse races.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Seattle is a long way north and chances are you will be chilly & damp up to mid-June, possibly later.
I don't mind chilly and damp and it's hard for me to get time off in mid-summer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I can tolerate pretty much any weather. Mostly voting based on my schedule. (Which I haven't really looked at yet, and thus haven't voted yet, but earlier just about always works better than later for me.)

Yeah, we always end up at cross-purposes with everyone's schedules. I know it's inevitable. There's no way I could come the last weekend of May since that's graduation (and the first weekend in June would also be pretty tough), but I know others have similar conflicts mid-summer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's a couple weeks before the Indy 500, right? Right around Time Trials, I think. Or Pole Day.
Um...
Hey, F2F voting!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup. My schedule and Kristin's are the same, what with the whole similar profession thing going on and all. But I understand that people have stuff going on.
Maybe we need to do a special teachers' F2F! Heh. Just kidding. But I didn't vote in the poll because I always vote and then end up not being able to go, so I didn't want to skew the numbers.
Huh. That looks like kinda a bad reason, now that I type it out. Maybe I should go vote after all.
(edited to correct the apostrophe, because teachers might read this post. And also because a F2F for one teacher would be sad. And only an F. Which is bad. For teachers. Okay, I should probably go to bed now.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I think you should vote, Liese. I mean, I totally sympathise with your sense of inevitable doom, but if we don't vote, then that's pretty artificial too.
(And, believe me, the thought of a Buffisteachers' Face To Face has crossed my mind. Also, a Face-to-Fay, in which it's All About Me. Because a girl can dream.)
On the bright side, if it's at a time I can't attend, then that's a whole big pile of money saved.
