Cripes. My hotel tomorrow has the most annoying website in the history of the world. I just need to know the best way to get there from the airport! I don't need to watch an oh-so-mod flash sequence that doesn't seem to get me anywhere useful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The best way from laguardia to anywhere is taxi, unfortunately.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
A joyful day and a long and loving life together to you and Hagai, Nilly!
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's a big moment for the person actually giving birth.
Well, yes, definitely. But there's also a constant awareness that it really is just one day, that it's not just one event after which you'll return to your everyday life, that there's a whole completely different, unimaginable life on the other side of it that needs at least as much thought and attention as that one event.
Or, at least, that's how it was for me. I have a feeling that YPregnancyAndChildbirthM not only MV, but does, vastly.

For me, childbirth and parenthood are two pretty separate things. Each are momentous in their own way. And that's taking into account I was out for most of Jake's birth.
It would be awfully nice if something so cool didn't have to hurt like a motherfucker, though.

This week my class was analyzing this quote from T. S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
It was interesting to watch them make the realization that with every new beginning something, by necessity, must end. One of them said, "what about childbirth? ideally nothing ends." And I laughed. I said, for parents, their lives end. And it begins again, but as something entirely different and entirely transformed.
Then we segued to Alpha and Omega.

Of course, Nilly, any time you marry your partner-for-life is very lucky...I just remembered your fondness for 17s.(maybe that sort of thing is American superstition, though.)
