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.

It's a Boxing Day buffista trifecta.

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.

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 think Hec said something about wanting more cat videos.

Happy Birthday Jess! Theo! Rayne!
Happy Boxing Day!
Christmas went well despite the mini-crisis of my sister locking the present room with the key inside.
My brother guessed what his present was before opening since he was watching the A Christmas Story present scene at the same time.
This sort of thing is why I prefer Sunset Park to Chinatown in Manhattan.
