“Not dead yet!”

Oh Dana, I hope you are sleeping like the proverbial baby right now.

As for me, I was awakened at 6:30 not by Lewis' alarm, but by Mooshu-- Mooshu, he who has lying around like a carpet down to an art form, whimpering and finally somehow opening the bedroom door. That opens inward. After that, Jasmine and Pisces started frolicking, so I had no choice but to let them all out. They were also all very thirsty, so I'm suspecting that Abby didn't exactly fill their water bowl last night when she gave them dinner.

But I'm up. And ingesting coffee.

Well, I managed to get most of the locations labelled on my pictures before I forgot. Now to do the parents'. [link]

Or I could shower. Or answer an email I should definitely not. Or run away.

Can't decide.

And now my father is monopolizing my bathroom.

“Not dead yet!”

sara, those are absolutely unbelievable. It's almost impossible to imagine that something like that exists for real. The eclipse pictures and the shots of the Himalayas are especially striking.

Deck demo starts today!

Barb, being up at the pass during the eclipse was surreal enough without the eclipse. The light and clouds and feeling of being lost in a sea of sky was just...woah.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That sounds like an amazing trip sara.

Here's hoping Dana got moved and is now blissfully unconscious. That flight ordeal sounded almost as bad as Drew's travel nightmare right before the F2F.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Seems lots of people had morning adventures. At 5:30, Sylvester decided to jump on things in mac's room, one such thing being a poster that had fallen - that is some noisy crinkly paper noise. I think the cat's may be getting bitten which may explain the uptick in early morning noise that has been happening recently. I think the bites I was getting at 5:30 got turned into scratches because I flipped the sheet backa dn rolleed out of bed so fast - JUST EW! Board meets tonight, hopefully I can get an exterminator out early next week.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Hah. I got a Nigerian (well, Ghanian)419 scam...on a leather-oriented community website I'm a participant in.

Probably the most entertaining email I've ever gotten there, too. Pity.

Deck Demo is awesome! how much longer are your parents staying in B-more?

We're up early today. And I was asleep later than I'd like yesterday. We have to go to TK to do more respiratory care training.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Today is "get CJ ready for school" day. He gets to pick up his schedule this afternoon and they are doing school pictures. So the boy gets a haircut. And from now until school starts, he is going to have to start going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier.

At his elementary school, the bus picked him up at 8:20 and brought him home at 4:20. Now, for middle school there is no bus, the school is about a mile away. School hours are 7:30 - 2:45. Looks like he and I will be leaving the house at the same time in the mornings. Oy.
