google maps will give directions for riding on a bike (beta): [link] Nice addition to the public transit and walking directions.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The 19-year-old daughter of one of my best friends just announced that she's getting married Friday instead of after her fiance gets out of the Army after a tour in Afghanistan. She's a sophomore and says she's going to finish her degree online. He's already graduated and is apparently a good guy, but I am so dubious about this plan.

Our wings are not tired.
I understand your concern, Ginger. Alas, the people they are now may well be quite different after he gets back, particularly since they won't have the opportunity to live together as a married couple before he leaves. It just adds another layer of complication to what is already a tough thing to make work. Marriage is difficult under perfect conditions. That said, I doubt the couple will see it that way.

They've only known each other about a year, so they don't even have the base of longtime shared experience. I think I married too young, and I'd been out of college a year. There's nothing I can do but wish them well.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm dancing on air in the geekiest of fashions, since I just bought tickets to go see Sting in concert with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
This would not have happened if I still lived in Jacksonville, oh no, it would not have.
Hee!

Yikes, Ginger. There are times I think I got married too young and I was almost 25. And had lived with Lewis for nearly three years.
Good thoughts headed their way, because heaven only knows they'll need them.

At the same time, there's certainly practical reasons to do it before he leaves, morbid as that is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There are practical reasons to marry now, no matter how hard it might be to admit it.
And, honestly, the best marriage I know was one right out of high school. It's correlation, not causation. But they aren't doomed. Early military marriages can't be easy though. I wish them well.

Noise Design, I think I'm having sympathy pains for ya. Oy. Not sure if it's the GB or the frakkin' chairs in the new theater.
