My good news for the week: they added a third lap lane for rush hours. Remove it at 6:30 M/W for aqua aerobics, but major win. I told the lifeguard J that now we'd have the NYResolution fail and it wouldn't be crazy like it has the past few weeks.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my cousins just posted a fairly graphic photo of animal abuse on facebook, as part of a thing to spread the photo around to see if anyone could identify the people in it. I so did not need to see that.

Uhg. Me, otoh, am getting increasingly frantic IMs from my friend because our friend's (and neighbor's) cat refuses to leave her house and her roommate's cat kinda hates him. He likes to "go visiting" and has stayed with them and another neighbor when S is out of town. And he stays with former roommate and sometimes her parents when S is on extended leaves.
This is the cat who tried to climb into my car and had to be dissuaded from entering my house. He basically thinks he lives everywhere.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
We had a cat like that in the neighborhood at our old apartment! I met him when he came in our window and started eating our cats' food. He was *very* friendly. His owners told us he just really likes people.

Because books.
That's the way we wound up with Cortez, actually. We'd seen him stray in the neighborhood for a few weeks, and one day he walked onto the back porch and just never left.

Well, Pooch is initially wary of strangers. But once S gives her seal of approval, you are a friend (and potential crash pad, apparently) for life.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Having observed how the KC area handled the last big snow, I decided to try something different this time. I've booked a room at a hotel near where I work downtown and packed a bag to take in with me tomorrow.
If the storm is less severe than forecast, I shall take all the credit.

This meara is in a hotel also, bon! It's actually a fairly nice one, but since I got home at 11PM Friday and left again at 5AM on Monday...well.
The life of meara also involves three headaches in three days, sadly, though Sunday's was really my own fault--that one was a hangover (with accompanying nausea! whee! Um, helped keep my diet though...)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, I'm reading a baseball blog with a reference to various sports writers back in the early sixties. Tell me if one of these names just jumps out at you and makes you snort:
The only other sportswriters covering that spring training were my sports editor, Gordon Cobbledick, who had given me the job, columnist Frank Gibbons and baseball writer Regis McAuley of the Cleveland Press, and columnist Jim Shlemmer of the Akron Beacon Journal.

msbelle:
anyone know if Kat's DC thing got funded? We have other Public School teachers on here that could submit one? Erin? Pix? ChiKat?
I haven't been funded. It's at: [link] I'd love any donation at all, including $1 donations because that helps move my project up the board.
Amyth, I'm so sorry about Lulu.
