Lunch and Powell's might work today. We'd chattered about the Japanese Garden too.
HONEY SOAP!
Ooooh! But I am not taking our Scola to the nude beach. Hell, I didn't mean to take you there, Perkins.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

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

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You could! or at least drive past it and not look!
Or I could try to figure out the name of the soap so I can buy it online.

The status is NOT quo.
I would love the F2F to be at the Jersey Shore! One thing to be aware of if anyone ends up in Atlantic City, though. Last time I was there, the boardwalk was really unsafe at night, even in groups. I'd prefer a sleepier town if possible.

My brother told me they went to Atlantic City recently and ended up not even getting out of the car. They went to Philly instead.

Damn, that's scary. Still, Jersey shore doesn't have to be about Atlantic City. I'm all about the beaches, personally. Give me a towel, a chair, a cooler of beer and a good book (or good company) and I am good to go. Of course, a volley ball net would be nice and maybe a horseshoe pit and a barbecue pit. And a boom box of some kind. Maybe a few umbrellas. Hee. I'm starved for a good beach vacation, I may have to put that on my list of things to do in the not-so-near future.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like Sail's vision, there.

Our wings are not tired.
I do, too. As long as there are *no* cameras around me in my bathing suit. I am so not kidding about that.

Because books.
The Jersey shore isn't cheap in season, though. And when you go off season, even in early June, the weather can be iffy. September can be nice, but that's never guaranteed either. And there honestly isn't much to do aside from beach, boardwalk, restaurants, and mini golf.
And I say that loving and missing the Jersey shore like mad. If folks really wanted a beach experience, it might be smarter to go North Carolina, where the weather is usually more forgiving earlier in the year.

not your mom's socks.
We could do the Philly/daytrip beach thing. that way weather doesn't impact.
Also, there's Laurel Hill Cemetery [link] , The Mutter Museum [link] and lots of other oddities that might? slightly? offset Disneyland for Jilli? Maybe?
Plus some darn fine food and Victory and Yard beers which are the yum. Also an opportunity to be one of 6 million people who has re-enacted Rocky Balboa running up the Art Museum steps.
Plus, you know, history.

I don't care how dorky it makes me; I do love Philly. Just seeing Buffistas taking over Reading Terminal Market would be worth it.
