“Not dead yet!”

Impossible, and impossible not to love him.

Parenthood, in one short sentence.

aurelia, catching up and saying so sorry and hope that something turns up for you soon.

Thunder is really that rare out in SF? Huh. Interesting.

It's raining here today, which is perfect, as far as I'm concerned. I'll watch college football and work-- the kids have friends over, nice mellow Saturday.

If I'm inspired I may throw in a load of laundry.

Maybe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, this is randomly interesting -- I'm watching yesterday's Ellen, and Katherine Heigl and her husband are adopting a baby from Korea, in part because her sister was adopted from Korea as well. Huh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

U.S. Open:

Damn, Nadal.

I've lived here for just over two years. I've heard two thunderclaps. I never really realized I would miss them, but I do.

I feel like a real San Francisican now that I'm all like OMG Weather!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah. I woke up around 3 this morning to the dry thunder, and it made me all nostalgic for Midwestern thunderstorms.

Come to think of it, we didn't really get much thunder-and-lightning in Alaska, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was surprisingly difficult to find the cable company's phone number without the internet!

I always get stuck in that position. Have I written it down yet? Oh, nosirree. I always surf unforgiving sites on my phone to find it each time.

I missed the tennis! I can only hope that a) the Tennis Channel replays it and b) I remember then. Hopefully I'll catch the women's semi. Need to check when they'll play Clisters/Williams, too.

Clisters (I swear there's a J in there somewhere) and Williams is tonight at 8PM eastern.

Thanks. At least that has a hard start time. Looks like Wickmayer/Wozniacki is just after the men's doubles, about which I give not a whit. The women's doubles doesn't usually run later than the men's does it? But I can't work out how rain could have gotten one so delayed and not the other.

I'm so sorry, aurelia! That has to be devastating for so many people.

sarameg, a fox?! I've seen what I believe to be a coyote in Somerville (from just far enough away to be sure about "that's NOT a dog") but foxes we haven't been blessed with.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The thunder has slacked off and the rain is all dried up, and we're watching Teen Titans and slowly gearing up for a preschool open house. Most of the Montessoris in San Francisco are as alarmingly expensive as anything else (though almost nothing is as bad as my employer's preschool/aftercare at $1365 a month), but by random Google-Yelping, we miraculously found an affordable one three blocks from home. We've probably walked past it a hundred times without ever noticing it. Open house starts in forty minutes. And on Monday we do a tour of an also-affordable one ten blocks away in the opposite direction. Please, please let one of them work out.
