Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I really wanted to come down there to see it with you, but I missed the window.
Yes! You did tease this, didn't you?
Bad person.
I like roller coasters, though I hate amusement parks. People. Ick.
Montreal had some great wooden coasters. Excellent. And living near Cedar Point was cool, because we'd sometimes take time off in the middle of the week and go ride everything. But there's no off time with California rides, I bet.
Here's a thing parents don't do! Name you after "the boy they really wanted!" So everybody else, stop asking!
Errr.
I'm sure your parents didn't!
Bad person.
Hangs head.
But there's no off time with California rides, I bet.
Honestly midweek during the spring is pretty low traffic for Magic Mountain. Had I known you wanted to go...
We're in DC, Zen. Not terribly far, but not close enough that I can sneak out for coffee with you, unfortunately.
Name you after "the boy they really wanted!"
I know I've mentioned this before, but my immediate family all call me Henry or Hank, because my sisters wanted a brother. This is how I signed the card I sent to my mother, and it makes me blink when they call me by my real name.
Had I known you wanted to go...
Oh, god, everybody hates me.
Actually, I doubt I could hold up to an amusement park outing these days.
I wonder if my parents ever really thought they'd have boys. They're not that common on my mother's side in stable marriages. And don't have the greatest life expectancies.
DC, I knew that. I need to drive up and get together with the DC 'istas sometime. I'm too close not to!
BTW, is tonight the first episode of the new season of FNL, or have I missed some?
megan, tonight is the first one. I have missed it so!
Oh well, siblings, that's different. Of course they'll do stuff like that Hank.
But Emmett's never had a problem forming strongly held opinions with no basis in personal experience.
I ate rhubarb for the first time the other night! After spending my entire life convinced I wouldn't like it. But it was in my CSA so I sucked it up and made a rhubarb crisp and it was awesome.

I don't know that my childhood friend Toni's parents really wanted a boy, but they were definitely expecting and planning for a boy, who was going to be Tony, Jr. So.
