This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

I think we need two Buffista islands: one cool weather, one hot. Then we need someone to develop a teleportation device between the two.

Sue -- or a bi-yearly migration, where we drive the cats over the mountain passes, and ford the rivers.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The radio show is finishing now, and everyone is crying, including me! (They just played a very touching montage and came back to both of the hosts audibly sobbing, and even their male newsreader is crying, so I lost it!) WGN is "going in a new direction," so they're firing these two after twenty years.

Which so sucks.

One of them is reading some ad copy, and then lost it halfway through and then said, "They're never gonna pay for this," which cracked everyone up.

I like this island

Undeveloped in the Bahamas. 55 acres. Sounds lovely.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We'd have to buy a fleet of Buffista Snowmobiles

"Snow Machine" is over now? Thank goodness.

Because books.

Aw, I hate that. Sorry, Kathy. Yay for new couch, though!

I turned on my favorite station up here yesterday and it was gone. In its place was Christian talk radio. I almost crashed the car.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This weekend we're heading to Indiana to visit with family and friends from (I can't believe I'm saying this) elementary school!

And I'm running a 5K with my sister.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and you use your foil to spear the hors d'oeuvres as they go by....

More of an epee thing I would think.

This weekend I will be at the Fremont tournament with Emmett. Which means bleachers behind a Junior High School all day Saturday from 7:30 to 2:30, then we adjourn to a nearby hotel which will be hosting six of our tournament teams (all age groups). Consequently it will be an insane-o madhouse of pre-teen hijinks including such favorites as nearly-injure-yourself-poolside and elevator-tag (very popular with the non-baseball guests, you may be sure). Sunday and Monday will be much the same.

JZ and Matilda will be flying up to Portland this weekend to see Uncle Chris.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Snow Machine" is over now? Thank goodness.

Snowmachine is an Alaskan thing. Much like "duck, duck, grey duck" is a Minnesotan thing (instead of "duck, duck, goose", as is Right and Proper).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks, Perkins and -t.

I'd love to buy an island. It's a ways down the list after "condo" and "retirement plan". Pity. But I'd gladly visit Buffista Island.

Congrats on the new couch, Kathy.
