huh - I didn't realize they still made station wagons - thought everyone had gone to SUVs and suchlike. (And one of my adolescent accomplishments was being able to parallel park a Ford Country Squire station wagon.)
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I think they stopped for a while. I think my 1996 Buick Roadmaster was among the last ones. But apparently they're back!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I drove a REALLY REALLY LONG station wagon for a while in grad school, while my car was getting fixed.
The thing was the length of a city block, and one of the tires was so old, it just fell to flapping pieces on a back road in Missouri one hot summer day.

Did I show you our swag wag complete with upgrade specifications from my camp girls.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In Ryan's continuing linguistic development, he now uses the proper tones when speaking Chinese. From an English-speaker's perspective, this is quite awesome, like this is the first thing in which he surpasses me. In English development, he's now comfortable stringing together two words at a time, and he now knows both "koala" and "kangaroo" (which he calls "karoo").
Oh! And I did my exam on Friday, another semester over. So that's nice.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Well Done Ryan with the linguistics and Good Job billytea for another semester accomplished.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And oh, that reminds me: Station wagon love!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Go Ryan!! And billytea!
Drama camp! That sounds fabulous!
This is a new one for me. I've done one the past 2 years at another venue with mostly former students. I'll be co-directing with a friend at a new venue with mostly new kids. I'd be more excited about it if I wasn't still wrapped up in the current school year.
And who doesn't love zombies and shakespeare!
I know, right??

Drama camp! That sounds fabulous!
They had two different musical camps going on in Albany (where Emmett goes to school) for this summer. One of them was doing Willy Wonka as a stage show/musical and that's what your eight weeks of summer camp was all about: learning the show, making the production, putting on the show.
An older age group was doing West Side Story.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
ChiKat, zombies and Shakespeare sounds like a lovely way of spending the summer.
bt, congrats on passing the exam, and good on Ryan for learning how to be more amazing than he already is.
