We went out this morning and grazed the free samples at Costco, then to the really nice nursery up the road and got a gorgeous climbing rose (called Night Owl). I then went to a free Intro to Yoga workshop at the studio near my office. Nice place and I an planning to start going. They are really into a non-judgmental atmosphere and that should work, since I am judgmental enough of MYSELF thankyewverymuch.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was fundamentally wrong.

Ok, that was fun. Next door made burgers, people brought wine and beer and salads and fruit and I got to meet a whole bunch of teachers and K-street environment and health lobbyists (ok, 3) who are all my neighbors and it was not stressful or anything. And strawberry shortcake was a hit.
I like my neighbors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

African tribe populated rest of the world
The entire human race outside Africa owes its existence to the survival of a single tribe of around 200 people who crossed the Red Sea 70,000 years ago, scientists have discovered.

Oh, and for msbelle, neighbor with kid was married briefly, apparently.
Oh, and I was the first non-work physics person one of my new neighbors had met. She teaches HS physics and was 99% sure she'd never met someone with a physics background outside of work.

“Not dead yet!”
Someone tell me it's wrong to want to strangle my kid.
He's had a Language Arts project called Genre Bingo where they have a grid layout of various different genres of reading material from newspapers to books and magazines-- he finishes two rows and he gets a one hundred test grade equivalent; finish all five and he gets extra credit. Because it's an easy sort of grade for him, he's been working towards completing the whole thing because he needs the grades and as such, he's been working on it since his Spring Break (first week of April).
Found out tonight that he's lost the sheet. Quite possibly was thrown out when he had to clean out his binder recently. He dumped a bunch of paper without actually, you know, checking it.
Which wouldn't be so bad-- but what's got me wanting to strangle him is that I asked him about this assignment several times today-- he discovered earlier today that the sheet was missing and never once thought to mention it. He didn't 'fess up until I asked to see it a little bit ago so I could help him plan out how he was going to finish up.
I am SO mad I could just spit nails.
