Forgot to mention yesterday that i finally got to meet Hil! (and Toddson and Vortex, but i'd already met them F2F :) ) for a lovely brunch. Best vegan french toast evah, with excellent company.
On home front news, the contractor set up a temporary line but is still holding that i need to fork out nearly $1 to replace the water line. I got another plumber to swing by and have a look, he said it would be about $150 in materials, $35 for the permit, that all the digging is already done (for the sewer repair) so it's about 20 minutes worth of actual work to put in the pipe and make two connections. And that the contractor should be doing all the repairs and replacement on his own dime. It was good hearing that from a liscensed professional. I'll be home Monday night to talk through it in person on Tuesday and have temporary water in the meantime.
In San Gimignano, I visited the Torture Museum and the Death Penalty Museum, and the whole time, I wished I had Buffistas in general (and Jilli in particular) with me.
Awww, I feel loved! And oh goodness, the food sounds spectacular.
Fluids, Aims. Lots of fluids.
Much ~ma for your mom, Maria.

For the last time, they are not "assless chaps." All chaps are inherently assless, so saying "assless chaps" is as redundant as saying "fingerless mittens." If you see some guy with a pasty, hairy, tush waddling around in a pair, just say "Ew!" and point. That's what the gays do.

Took Darb over to the Green Music Fest as an experiment. Mixed success. She did pretty good, only got anxious once or twice. There was no music - must have hit an off time - and not much fest, which is understandable because Pride is still going on. I may go back over later without her, only partly because of some (recycled rubber, hand tooled leather - Green!) sandals I should in no way be considering buying.
On the plus side, a lot less in the way of white-boy dreads than I was bracing myself for. And I saw my upstairs neighbor, who was manning a booth for an independent radio project.

If they had asses, they would be pants.

I swear I'm on BRQG on the subject of chaps!
I think I've seen that one. Something like 'they should call them chaps + ass'?
It really chaps his ass that people call them assless chaps.
