Thank him, beth! It's definitely a learning curve.

You are welcome, we like doing this stuff, but Matt is usually the one in the know. Tiling was interesting, because neither one of us had done it before - so we read and looked things up and asked questions and finally just had to do it. It worked, but it was a bit scary, because we weren't quite sure.

ita, I think she means the one on 3rd and Fairfax. you know, the one that gets capitalized as The Farmer's Market.

We went to see a minor league baseball game. SO FUN. Noah ate a disgusting amount of food and Grace stood the entire time. They are both exhausted and then some.

I still have to feed Grace (a bright green blend with broccoli in!) and give her some meds then bed time for me.

Yikes! So, I'm getting re-packed (I've been in Beijing for a week), and my suitcases are sort of on the heavy side but I figured the overweight baggage fee couldn't be toooo bad. $200! That is INSANE. So now my fun task is to figure out what to do. I haven't weighed my bags yet; but I'm fairly sure they are over 50lbs. I already have a decent-sized backpack as my carry-on, but I might have to go buy a duffel bag or something and pretend one of them is a personal item. I'd go get a small rolly suitcase to carry on, but I already have two and I need to be able to carry all my stuff through customs and all at my connection flight in Washington DC.

So... this will be fun times.

Thanks for the travel well-wishes!!

Ugh, what a PITA zuisa.

Which Farmer's Market, Burrell?

Kat's right, THE Farmer's Market 3rd and Fairfax. Hey, they had that name for decades. It's not their fault that the concept caught on about 50 or 60 years later. Shall I pick you up next time?

Oh my gravy, y`all, what fucking time is it? Half an hour until alarm time, is what. And I am completely wiped and yet? Got zero sleep tonight. I am so overstimulated it`s ridic. It is all input, no processing, plus a good measure of on-all-the-time extrovert pitchman, and now I cannot get my brain to SHUT UP!
 
I suspect very little time with you, my peoples, over the next busy week, but what time I have will be profanity laden braindump. You know, all the stuff I cannot say while working with the childrens. The white, privileged childrens that are funding my work. So, I`m like, sorry ahead of time.

Liese, coping~ma, and while this doesn't help you at all, I'm looking forward to your profanity laden braindumps.

I am in a hotel room! And thinking about where to have lunch. It's only an issue because checkout is at noon, and my meeting is at 2, so ideally I need a not too crowded, not too expensive, conveniently located place where I can shlep with my suitcase. Which would be fine, except I'm in Times Square!

Planet Hollywood!

Ha ha ha.
