Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Now I need to figure out where to go.

Some place cool and foggy in the summer.

Emmett's school year ended on June 10th. Matilda's is ending this week, but it just rolls into summer school for her. Matilda's Kindergarten starts in mid-August, though.

In Florida it was already quite hot by March, so when school let out (usually second week of June) it felt hot, summery and free. School never started until after Labor Day because they were trying to avoid A/C costs. I think they took off more time in the summer, and there was less time for xmas break, and there was certainly nothing like Emmett's mid-February week off.

Anyway, it's a rare hot day in SF today, supposed to get into the 90s.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd be far more interested in a smart, snarky guy like you than the ideal described.

Awww... thanks!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And it's a cool, stormy day in NOLA - cloudy and only 88.

I love SF weather. Such a tiny city (eight miles by eight miles, I think) yet the weather can vary quite a bit depending where you are.

Art Crawl!!!

It's sunny and warm here.

And I have today and tomorrow off!

It's beautiful. And I will admit to not getting up until after 10. Ah, the beauty of getting back to my actual natural sleep cycle. . . only to have to get up and go to work too early on Thursday.

Yup. Not uncommon for a fifteen degree difference between The Sunset and The Mission. Two of the biggest factors in real estate here are how much cold fog the neighborhood gets (undesirable) and how much of a view you have (since there are so many hills). These are not real estate concerns in Jacksonville.

hip deep in pie

When I was a kid, I remember being in school as late as 6/28, and we definitely didn't go back until after Labor Day, so I assume it's the same deal now.

The school year is similar here.

unrealistic expectation of jumping into boxes or riding Roombas?

The greatest disappointment of my Roomba ownership is that neither cat will ride it.

They pay me in WOIMS

I was kind of thinking about going someplace where people won't care so much that it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

France? Bora Bora?
