We're going to COSI (the science museum) in Columbus, to meet an old friend I haven't seen since she came to my wedding, 11.5 years ago! Also we hope to go to Katzinger's Deli, where we always used to stop on the drive between Cincinnati and Cleveland.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My sister's friend is visiting this weekend. We baked cookies yesterday morning (well, I baked cookies while they watched), then the whole family went to see Up in the Air, and then we went for Chinese food. At dinner, my sister's friend and I were making some silly "My preciousss" jokes, and then we realized that my sister had still not seen LotR, so we immediately put that DVD in when we got home. It was already late, though, so we just watched up until the end of the "I will take the ring to Mordor" scene and then went to bed. We'll see if she's willing to watch the rest today.

Oh, joy. I get to fly on the day after Christmas (my own fault), out of an airport that was the target of a terrorist attack yesterday (not my own fault). Because the Detroit airport wasn't going to be chaotic enough.

Calli, on the bright side, I'm sure security will be very thorough.

When I was a kid, COSI was always such a treat!
Today will be the day we write out thank yous, go to yoga, maybe go ice skating.

True. I'm not particularly worried about another terrorism attempt. I'm more worried about people getting paranoid and jumpy and long lines getting longer. Meh. At least I don't have any connections to make.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Calli -- good luck to you.
I just tried to channel my mother and somehow it all came out right.
Nice!
Happy birthday, Theodosia! And happy birthday, Rayne! (If she's lurking....)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know, me too! I loved COSI. Also, I have a favorite memory of being there with my class. They did all this special stuff with us, one of which was a dealio on centrifugal (centripetal? I forget) force, where they sat a kid in a chair and spun him around. He was supposed to think he was stopped before he was, but they let us put our biggest awesomest nerd in the chair, and he was feeling for the force pushing him against the back of the chair and he beat the experiment. We were so proud of him.

I'm thinking about having my brother return the handheld video cam they bought for me and getting a Roomba instead. Any recs or suggestions? ETA: unless you guys will be entertained by endless videos of cats.
