But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of childhood exercise things, my boss got an "exercise" hula hoop a while back, and got it delivered to the office, so of course we all tried it. It was so fun! I should get one of those.

Hula hooping is huge down here, as an exercise/art form thing.

I love that they order you "DON'T STIR TOO MUCH!"

I've been making no-knead bread with great success, because my cooking "style" involves doing as little as possible. This weekend Spouse made the no-knead bread for the first time (I had to work a lot) and he cannot stand not to over-work bread or pie crusts. It was causing him pain apparently, having to stop stirring before beating the dough into submission.

I want to learn to bake popovers like in Maine.

I hope hop scotch is the next hipster fad. That would be awesome.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Before my problems with wheat manifested, I used to make bread whenever I felt a little...tense. Beating the snot out of the dough was therapy. Nice results, too.

My MiL's white yeast bread recipe was versatile: standard loaf pans, two large braids or circled braids, four small straight or crescent braids or freeform loaves, a couple of braids or freeform loaves and a dozen crescent rolls. Two dozen crescent rolls, yadda. For years my contribution to potlucks was bread, a pretty cutting board, a good knife, a crock of sweet butter. I miss both the making and the eating of bread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They could rip out the bocce lanes at the bars and replace them with hopscotch! Brilliant!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hipster play bocce!?! The only bocce in Rochester that I know of is in the basement of the Italian American Community Center!

I have a hulahoop, and a DVD for it! Um, that I haven't watched...
