You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Our wings are not tired.

Kathy, those sound like very inspirational goals! Go you!

Well, if someone has your address erroneously in their contact list, they'll send something else soon enough.

If I get another message, I'll write back.

I'd have to bone up on various subjects before trying out for Jeopardy, namely geography (at which I'm quite bad), opera/classical music, botany, and math.

Geography, yeppers.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh that kitchen has me thinking. One of the things that I may very likely need to do renovation wise when I move is add additional counterspace to divide a kitchen eating area from a living space - an old bar would work really well.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I feel like I should be listening to Kathy . Losing 30 to 50 lbs would make many things much more manageable.

Today I am vaguely cranky with my drifty ways.

I've got to start making my appointments for all the doctors I have to see before I can schedule my surgery, otherwise I won't be having it until April at the earliest.

Keep breathing!

Put me with the people who took typing in high school, also shorthand. I don't remember how to make many specific letters in shorthand, but I kept all the little words/combinations (the, to, to-the, in, in-the, able, will, willing, do, of, of-the, etc.) which I used extensively in note-taking in school. In grad school in Israel, I took my notes in an ugly mix of English, Hebrew, and shorthand. No one ever borrowed MY notes!

My handwriting has degenerated horribly over the years. I'm not looking forward to my first graduate class next week--I'll probably be spending the hour after class typing up my notes just so I can read them.

This looks like an excellent source for geography quizzes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks for the link, smonster. Now it's just about setting aside the time to do it justice.

I use math shorthand in my note taking. So things like ∃ and ∀ pop up here and there. Mrs. Shaw would be so proud...

Okay, back to the damned migration mapping. It's kicking my ass.
