Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Happy Teppy Day!

May the most magnificent Teppy have a most Happy Birthday. And get your tiara back from The Boy, your turn to wear it when you wake up.

Happy birthday, Steph!

I just processed several pounds of apricots into jam. I was going to do apricot butter, but last year's shot at that was an epic fail. So the jam is jarred and processed and pretty yum. I wonder if I can dilute it enough to put it into Grace's feeds? Nothing like pure sugar to make a baby happy?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday!

The Moody Blues and I will be converging on northern Michigan this weekend. I may get to hear them from my cabin.

Hey, happy birthday, Steph!

I am now in NM, having safely accompanied my nephew, my first experience flying solo with a kid. OMG, he talks. And talks. And talks. And is experimenting with the whole hyperbole thing, which apparently Aunt Sara has little patience for, though I think I'm still being pretty cool about it, but I don't play.

Difference between 95 in B'ham and 99 in LC is AMAZING. I mean, I've always known and lamented it, but dry heat really is so much more dealable. And I find it funny mom thinks the house is warm. Uh, no, no it is not.

I think I need to mainline salad and fruit the rest of the trip. I swear, I know my eating habits have changed a lot, but this has really been driven home. It's not that the food isn't good and pretty healthy, I just find it so heavy.

Mom's got an old laptop I'm gonna bum while I am here. Doesn't seem to hold a charge, but not a big deal. However, not having the 2 fingered scroll is making me CRAXY.

So far 2 of the 4 cats have approached me. Other two think I'm the devil, but since they love the room I am staying in, think they'll get over it.

Now to see if I can get in at least ONE lapswim. Just one. All I ask. I'll even wake up early.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay, NM! I wave in your general closer direction! I love me a good dry heat. That`s the thing I`m looking forward to least about heading back to the midwest. I cannot deal with the humidity. And it`s going to be the first thing back, at the festival.
