I'm on my way up to my sister's. I was late this morning; I thought I missed my train. But the train was late, too, and now I get to frolic in the sweltering heat with my nieces and nephew. Yay!
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?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And he berates the parents who respect their toddlers' wishes not to be dunked, saying that if you don't do it, your kids will always be afraid of the water.
Are these red cross lessons, Jessica? Because that's diametrically opposite what the RC lessons say. Parent-toddler classes at our pool use lots of songs and Noah is learning to kick and move his hands. Before he moves on to the non-parent-kid classes, he has to "swim" 5 feet unassisted.

Also, in San Franciso last night and today. I forget how much I'd prefer to stay in the city when I come visit. It's just spendy to do so.
The wedding we went to was at Mexican restaurant in a mall (no seriously.....a very fancy restaurant, but still) and the guacamole was the best I've ever had. Noah was so exhausted that he fell asleep in K's arms on our walk back to the hotel.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Thanks, guys.
I am waiting for the laundry to finish, so I have clothes to wear to church.
Yesterday, we moved a chair-and-a-half up stairs and hoisted box springs up to the exterior 2nd floor door (wouldn't go up the stairs).
Today, I am glad that bed bugs are not part of my life.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy birthday, Debet!
