You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kinda, ita, yeah. We realized that for an extra $20 each we could get a year membership to the aquarium. We have one for the San Diego Zoo (which we've used quite a bit -- like 6 + times this year if you include the wild animal park). But the aquarium is less than an hour away and he lasts as long there as at the zoo. I wish they had reciprocity with the LA Zoo, but it's good enough for what we got.

I'm kinda excited at the thought of having a membership. I had one when they first opened, but it's more fun now. As many things are with a kid, actually (and there's an equal number of unfun things).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just got back from my uncle's neighborhood block party, where we set up our telescopes and showed everyone Jupiter and the major moons at 75x. It's still such a kick to hear young and old alike say "Oh, wow!" when they look through the eyepiece.

That's cool!

“Not dead yet!”

I should be really disturbed by the fact that I still know all the lyrics to the theme for "The Nanny," right?

Yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allyson: you can do it! Kick some ass!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Has everybody seen the cinematic animated opening to Rock Band Beatles and the various dreamscapes?

Pretty freaking cool. And the gameplay puts you right inside the Beatles which is a fun place to be.

Go Allyson! You can do it!

(I'm really selfish--I'm encouraging because I wanna read it! And recommend it at the bookstore! I had so much fun recommending Vampire People.)

Over the hill from Flushing
to the Sheffields' door
She was there to sell makeup
But the father saw more.
She had style!
She had flair!
She was there!
That's how she became
The Nannyyyyyyyyyyy!

yes, from memory, why do you ask?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, you're a brilliant, witty writer and this book will kick ass!

We had a fire on the back patio tonight and it was awesome. I love the end of summer with the clear, cool nights.
