This is a long-standing friendship with a gay (partnered) friend, who is allowed to frolic outside the primary - and we have. But suddenly I'm just all RAWR and it's not being returned. Angst. I just need to GET OVER IT, and go back to being friends again. The stupid heart-squeeze is unwelcome and DISTRACTING (and hurtful to *him* as well). So: right-hook preferred, that's my good side.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I think it is Tino's fault that nothing is getting done. And I know he made work call me.

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

Random question: Wouldn't a database table named tblSummaryDetails be a contradiction in terms?

Stephenie, you should be OK on the Metro if you avoid rush hour. And I'd advise keeping both kids in the stroller while you're in the Metro system (little ones tend to wander, I've noticed). I'd also advise getting off at the Cleveland Park stop and walking downhill to the zoo. Then you can walk downhill to the Woodley Park stop when you leave.

This is awesome advice. I knew the zoo was between two stops but I couldn't remember which way the hill went. We are supposed to meet at 10:30, so I think I'll be able to avoid rush hour.

I do have a Beco I could put Frisco in but I'm always just so tired when I've had him in there for a while. Plus, I'd have to carry him and our bags.

ALSO ... if you want to totally wimp out, the L2 bus runs down Connecticut Avenue and if you HAPPENED to get off the Metro a little before one came along, you could ride down to just across from the zoo. (however, the side of the street that the Metro elevator is on is across from the side you'd want to ride the bus down). A lot of the buses on that line are the ones that don't have steps ... although you're supposed to fold up strollers before getting on ...which means you might be better off just taking the elevator up to the street and walking down.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Poor StuntHusband. It is the sad truth of crushes that they tend to be one-sided.

Si. Claro. This, too, will pass - and needs to RIGHT SOON because he's having Relationship Issues(TM) and I would like to be able to offer him meaningful advice, instead of "dump the bastard and come shack up with me", which is what...certain segments of my anatomy...are chorusing in my ears.

And when they're two-sided, whoa momma is he ever married!

(We never did anything and yet I was on his wife's shitlist, apparently because he said my name in his sleep).

Totally unfair - if someone's going to hate you, you should have some fun earning it.
