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."
Strong like an Amazon.

The local People Magazine! Of course! Why don't other schools think of that?
Crisp = highly successful. I kind of want to eat the whole thing right now.

Well, it is best when fresh from the oven...

I had seconds and am now sated. Phew. Maybe I'll make a pear-apple crisp for Sunday. (I have more pears left than apples, now.)

Farm to CSA pickup to my oven. Mmmmmmm squash and eggplant.
I will have an empty nest next week - CJ is spending his fall break in California. So far my big plans - cleaning house. Man, I need a life.

I think next year for the marathon, I want to set up an unofficial station. Or volunteer with one on the street. I'm not a runner, but I grew up being dad's pit crew for various races and triathalon, and I guarantee I WILL tear up tomorrow, partly because of that, partly because of watching the neighborhood come out and be all crazy supportive. Wanna be a part of that. At mile 22 last year, runners were collapsing out in the median or people's yards. Folks in the houses on 33rd were out bringing blankets, pillows, propping feet up on crates, watering and talking to them until the medics could tend to them. Even the guys in the house who pretty much live on their porch drinking 40s and smoking were being encouraging, in their own trashy way.
Shit like this makes me love my city.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Dana,
The problem with Zappos (or ordering from the Easy Spirit website) is that I need the shoes for next weekend. There's no guarantee that a) the shoes would reach me on time and/or b) the pair I choose fits properly. I know that Zappos has a policy of allowing returns, but that adds time to the whole process. Ah, well, I guess I'll go with the shoes that are too big(6 1/2 WW=EE) for now, and try again later.

That's why you order six and return the ones that don't fit!
Though sometimes I worry that Zappos will get mad at me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You're in a long-term committed relationship. I'm sure Zappos finds such quirks endearing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Zappos is one polyamorous relationship I'm staying in.
