Our wings are not tired.

I don't need to see that on any day, megan!!

Thanks, sarameg. I have thought about you and your house a lot the last 42 days, but even more in the last 72 hours!

Am at new hotel now. Hope they at least carry the Giants' games. At this point, it's just the familiarity of the broadcast crew that I need to keep me company in yet another sterile hotel room.

They allow dogs, but I am only here for one night because they're booked tomorrow. I am calling in the morning to check on cancellations because if I can keep staying here, I can send for the Wigglebutts!!! And then I will feel approximately 3000 times better.

Because books.

The jerker was apparently tall, flabby, pale, and nearing middle-age. So, no.

Naked jogging just seems ... uncomfortable.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Hoping for Wigglebutts!!

Which sounds so weird after all this talk of flashers and naked joggers.

Tennis: Wow. That final was completely amazing. Excellent tennis all around.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, that was pretty nuts.

Oh, I hope you can have the dogs join you.

I expect that when it comes time to replace the plumbing to the second floor, it will be precipitated (ahaha! NOT) by something like this. Because plumbing of this vintage is fine. Until it isn't. And I know when it comes that time, I want to save the bathroom floor, which means going through the first floor ceiling and walls. Fun. Good to now SF is responsive- they're my insurance as well.

Ew, megan! How unpleasant.

I don't see that sort of thing where I go running--perhaps the possibility of poison oak scares them off.

I've never even heard of the ASVAB

Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery. Basically the test you take to see where you would fit into the military.

Javachik, glad you found a place with the Giants on tap.

Naked jogging just seems ... uncomfortable.

Naked bike riding, ditto.

I'm not sure why they would make them take it, it's not like we have mandatory service in the States.

sara, they've been terrific so far. The initial claims guiy did carefully ask me and the responding plumber a lot of questions about what caused the flood. Once he was confident that it was a "result of a 'sudden' indident" and not a long-term pipe leak or something, it was a "no-brainer" claim. Whew!

I have a 1-year home warranty too, from the sale, and I need to call them and see if they'll cover the new toilet. That would be nice. I'd intended on replacing the toilet; just not this soon!
