My first and only concert was the Warped Tour a few years ago to see Billy Idol. Got to listen to youngsters wondering why all the old ladies were there, saw angry wanna-be punks, got kicked in the head in the mosh pit. It turns out I'm having a life that makes the kids go "Wow!" after all.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
He does have an oscilloscope in the attic. That makes up for A LOT.
WOW. Yeah. That really does.
Activia doesn't have as much in the way of probiotics as pill form does, but for people who don't have ongoing GI badness, Activia is probably enough. Or, well, your guts will tell you if it's not.
The intestinal wierdness is (I hope) atypical for me. Fingers crossed.

I didn't find out about the oscilloscope until after I moved in. I told him that if I hadn't fallen in love with him before I knew about the oscilloscope, that would have done it for sure.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
She landed on her feet, so I'm fairly certain that her head and internals are okay, but her feet and ankles are probably royally screwed up. I'm hoping she doesn't have serious compression damage in her spine and other joints.
I was the first person to get to her but it took me a minute. In that time she had already removed her shoes.

Yikes, you need to teach interns to break down and roll when they land on their feet, like you do for parachuting. (They said that landing from parachuting was like landing from a six foot jump but it was more like a 14 foot drop.)

She's a rock climber, so she probably fell as well as anyone would. There wasn't much room to roll. She landed in a box seat.
Besides, doesn't parachuting involve some lateral movement? That would make rolling much easier.

We had a really great weekend. We took Grace out both days. Today, when I went to get her out of her crib she started bouncing up and down. I walked back towards the kitchen to get her milk and she flipped out. Only calmed down when she realized we were going.
We spent today doing normal Sunday stuff for us. We had Dim Sum at Din Tai Fung. We over ordered and now have dumplings in the fridge. Noah was especially fond of the noodles and the pork buns.
After brunch we went to Huntington Gardens for the periodic apple photo. Grace STILL hates the apple and even Noah was a little iffy on it this time.
After a nap, we went to the playground. We took the red wagon from Grandma all around and Grace mostly stayed in that. She's not strong enough for slides or the rest, but man oh man, did she ever have a joyous times on the swings.
A good day. I can't wait until our home is her permanent home. 7 weeks or so until then.
