Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Survived day one of drive-to-pool. Good news is I think someone gave them the memo about the 3 other pools in the N & E sectors being closed (leaving approximately one teeny one with no good parking and this one,) so they are doing all lap swim starting at 5 to close this week.

So I know you're all breathless with anticipation for the next chapter in the Selling the Magic Cards saga. Hubby chatted with the kid with the money--we think he's using the money from his student loan, I suppose I should feel guilty, but I tell myself we're teaching him financial responsibility.
Turns out my secret dread was true, the Black Lotus was a fake. Dammit. But I expected it, because things that valuable are notoriously faked.
Still, the $2600 sitting in Hubby's wallet from the other cards soothes the disappointment just a bit.
