Woe to the fucking wicked.

Dolley Madison's life was much more interesting than I realized.

Angus (the pup) is really awesome. He is really mellow, ESPECIALLY for a young pup, but still confident enough that it seems he didn't find his previous life too awful. The SPCA found him wandering about a month ago, so who knows. He slept the whole night on the bed with them, and kept trying to get one of them or the kids to go back to bed with him this morning.

Honestly, I'm a little surprised how taken I am with him. I'm not a dog person. I mean, I like them, it's just that the doggy smell and exuberance and licking and size and things are just too much for me. I like visiting them. This one might be my new favorite. Works out well, I can go visit him and then bring G (the daughter) back over here to visit Mister Kitty and Loki, which she loves! Which we did tonight. She alternated between MK and the tentative Loki and my childhood stuffed animals. Plus, a rare Devi sighting.

It's very odd finding yourself in complete stranger's pictures on flickr. (No, not linking, nothing remarkable, plus pool hair.)

Do I go to Michigan next weekend for Father's Day, even though my CSA starts that weekend including my first fruit box (of only 10), and I'll be in San Francisco that following Tuesday until Saturday?

Technically I guess I could pick up my CSA at 10am on Saturday and then take a cab to Union Station for a 12:16pm train...

Why are decisions so hard?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Book of Mormon needs to stop winning things, so that the lottery doesn't get overloaded.

You should totally mention to the Flag House people! They would be happy to hear it. I love your neighbors!
 
There`s a house in our neighborhood that does a wonderful job with their landscaping, all home done, you can tell by the aesthetic. But just lovely. One day I was walking the dog past and she was out watering. So I stopped to tell her how much I enjoyed it (it`s on a corner I drive past every day) and she was so happy to hear it. "I didn`t think anybody noticed!" It`s worth spreading a little appreciation around.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

'll be in San Francisco that following Tuesday until Saturday

We need to make Sushi plans! Perhaps Tuesday or Thursday?

Now tagless for your comfort.

You know what's really hilarious? Owen finding bible stories in Lego on YouTube and now he's asking me about bible stories. I'm going to have to break down and find an unoffensive children's book of bible stories so I can help communicate this stuff a little easier.

Don't think I don't see the irony.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

May I suggest Biblical Literacy by Timothy Beal? Not so much a children's book, though.
