apparently Roxana Saberi has been released by the Iranian government! That's excellent news.
Yay!
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Also, in retrospect, I totally thought they were out in the country, but probably not, huh?
Well, Bobby did get bitten by a cottonmouth or something (and Trixie had to suck the venom out), so they had to be kind of in the country. I always thought they somehow lived on a nature preserve (didn't they go patrolling for poachers ?)

“Not dead yet!”
Trixie was a young teen living just outside the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson, in the Hudson River Valley area of New York. She lived at Crabapple Farm, which had been in her family for either three or six generations (this varies between books), with her parents and three brothers, Brian, Mart, and Bobby. The first book establishes her friendship with lonely, sheltered rich girl Honey Wheeler whose family has just moved into the Manor House next door and soon the girls are embroiled in their first case.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah -- there were definitely woods, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sleepyside-on-Hudson
Hee! Not quite Sleepy Hollow, not quite Croton-on-Hudson!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Good lord, people! Now I'm going to have to go home and re-read my Trixie Belden books!

I just pulled out the first couple Cherry Ames books.

I'm pretty sure my Trixie Belden books got sold in a yard sale. Either that, or there are somewhere in the attic, never to be seen again -- until they sell the house. By which I mean, until I sell the house, because I don't think my parents are planning on moving ever.

Coding and Sleeping
The kids finished the soccer season this weekend. Leif's team apparently won their game although I have no idea was the score was. That makes his team undefeated for the season.
Emaryn had two games over the weekend. Their team won the first one. They played well in both games, winning the first and losing the second. Emaryn played well, especially in the first game. She played unusually aggressive in the first game which was cute because she had her hair in pigtails with ribbons and had a rainbow and unicorn painted on her face. Their team ended up 5-3 on the season.

Awesome! There should be a video of this....
