I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Beets and squash are roasted, and apple-pear crisp is baking. Now that the oven is back on. I apparently turned the whole thing off instead of turning the timer off. Oops.

Jesse, can I have some of your apple-pear crisp?

Man, I've heard of so many people having gall bladder trouble this summer I feel like the next SciFi original movie ought to be Gallstone Apocalypse.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Good thoughts headed your sister's way, Trudy.

Probably! I made kind of a lot. Come on over! It's better than letting the fruit rot, I guess -- I just don't eat fruit, even when I mean to.

Good thoughts head to Trudy's sister.

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

Huh. This school show ended with them showing all the cool new science things that Microsoft donated to the science classroom, and the reading room paid for by People Magazine, and the sports fields paid for by an athletic equipment company, and then one of the show host people saying how the lesson they learned is that "Communities can make our own change; we don't have to rely on anyone else."
