Just dropped mac off at the first day of summer school/camp. whee.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I do not want to be at work today AT ALL.
It was meltdown city this weekend in Dylan-land, and I desperately need a day to recover and stop feeling like the world's shittiest parent. Bleh.

If I were closer Jessica, I'd take you to lunch. No way you're the world's shittiest parent. My bet is you are not even the World's Meanest Mommy (tm). A friend and I are in a never-ending contest for that title - I am lucky in the fact that mac proclaims me the winner most weeks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't think I've ever said swathe.
As a kid I told a friend I had to "swathe hay" - he didn't know what I meant, and thought I had said some French word - 'swathey' or something.

I pronounce "swathe" to rhyme with "lathe" and "bathe."
Kathy, I had no idea that Breyer's made dolls.
Sorry--it's Byers carolers, not Breyers. I was getting them mixed up with the ice cream company, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure there are some kids around here who could use these toys: [link]

"Swathe" with a long A doesn't seem too weird. But "swather" with a long A seems all kinds of wrong.
We had this swather with an air-cooled v-4 that I liked. If I choked it too much while starting it and accidentally flooded it, it would sound so cool as it first would run on only one cylinder, then two, then three, and after half a minute the fourth one would finally join in.

Jesse, those toys shouldn't be wasted on kids - adults can not only appreciate them, but actually pay for them.

True, true.
