Oh, good, that's much better.
Emmett will give you a knuckle bump the next time he sees you.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'll look forward to that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow -- everyone else in that story comes off as extremely reasonable. But what a scary situation for the poor kid! And the flight attendant, I'm sure.

I think everyone comes across as reasonable. And I think both the flight attendant and the pilot did what they should have done, given the protocol under which they are told to operate. Poor kid, though!

I am Jesse! But not so tall and with sloppier eyebrows and probably a worse pedicure.

Heh. My eyebrows could use some work. But my homemade pedicure is holding up OK....

My pedicure is a remnant from November, when sara was here. That's BAD.
So this spring, this is what's on my plate in addition to mom and work.
February - Olympics
March - move to a new apartment
April - blessedly free of obligations!
May or June - Grace comes home
June - 20th high school reunion
All of it just seems like stress to me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Europium is cracking me up. Also, I love the hive mind.
West coasters need to let me know when it stops raining there so I can tell when we're going to dry out a few days later. They're predicting a foot of snow tonight and another 9 to 15 inches tomorrow. And that's just here at 6010 feet. Over 7500 they might get five feet! I had to rig up a shelter for the birdfeeder using concrete blocks, an inverted sawhorse and a sheet of plywood.

Not raining at the moment in SF. This was supposed to the last of five storms and the next one doesn't come here until Sunday-ish.
