Thanks, Theo. And good luck.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope you have fallen asleep, Theo. It would likely be best for all parties if you can make the drive today. You won't be any good to anyone, including your mom, if you deplete all your energy resources.

Shir! Welcome back.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Of all the times for me to actually go to bed at a reasonable hour, it would be when you return to us, Shir. I'm glad you survived exams.

At least my reason for going to bed early was that I have a brand new mattress to try out. In four decades of life, this is the first time I've ever had a new one. But back and shoulder pain were getting to me, so it was definitely time. When I went to the mattress store, the guy asked me whether I liked firm or soft, and I told him, "I have no idea, I've never had a new mattress, so I don't know what new firm or soft feels like." So he had me try them all out. Firm? Was too firm. Medium felt good. Soft felt... like I couldn't move. So I went for medium. Also, it being a Serta, I got a cute little stuffed sheep toy as a bonus. I gave that to the cats.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh Theo, I second Laura, today would be best. I wish you had some help and many many hugs.

I slept in, which was grand. of course I did wake up every hour from 6-9 wondering where mac was before I remembered. Now I need to get dressed for lunch date.

Sox, I have another package for you! I'm not so good at getting these out in a timely manner am I?

Anyway, I'll try to call ita later in the AM.

Art Crawl!!!

Hey, I just discovered that ION is showing the Color of Magic tonight.

Is this a good adaptation of the book?

(It does have Sean Astin and Tim Curry in it and Jeremy Irons.)
