Feel better, Suzi!
I ain't gonna lie, I'd love a TJ's care package. I can reciprocate with pralines and Zapp's potato chips and Tony Chachere creole seasoning!

NOM!
People should definitely email me--I will organize!

So can/will it be an ongoing, kind of random thing (she asked, with hope)? Like, if three months from now, I'm back where there's a TJs and I e-mail Perkins and say, "Hey, I'm in a TJs share the love mood, who's up next?", would that work?
Or, say, so-and-so could use a pick-me-up, I wonder if he/she is on the TJs list. But, then, really even if you live next door to a TJs, receiving a TJs package would still be a pick-me-up. Ramble. I ramble.

Perkins, I don't know what this will end up looking like, but thanks for being willing to organize the TJs givers/receivers.
Insent.

Er, yeah, what amyth said. I got a little over excited there.

Where in WY did he go? Southern half, I guess?
Yep, in the south, a little town somewhere near Laramie. He has been invited up to our friend's cabin for years and this is the first time it has worked for him to go. (It is strange to be able to write years like that when I still feel like such a CO newbie).
I do not have the brain to send a lit to Perkins. Maybe tomorrow.

Because books.

Our year in Wyoming was so weird and fraught and I was pregnant for most of it, so I really didn't enjoy it, and we didn't see much of it, either. But I would love to go back now -- Ben is dying to see Yellowstone, and as he calls it, "the land of his birth."

My Y did a cool thing today. It's on the site of the old Memorial Stadium, and now has a Cal Ripkin project baseball field. Anyway, today was a Ravens game day. They brought in one of those industrial sized flatscreens, set up seats and set up a portion of the parking lot for tailgating for a small fee. It was full, complete with grills. On the field, they had bounce houses for kids and various food vendors.
Apparently, this is gonna be a regular thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was moved ahead as much as a year and a half at times, and they decided that the half year was too much. I was fine a year ahead, but then for other reasons the prep school wanted me held back instead of letting me go to high school, but my mother overrode them.
However, when I moved to England they pulled me back to my proper year because I just had no experience with their curriculum. Fair enough.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I know some of us have shared concerns here before about having young kindergartners (and so on). I haven't read this entire article but it seems to offer some reassurance. [link]
This is very interesting. Ryan was born right on Victoria's cutoff date, which would make him the oldest in his class when he starts school. Now I'm wondering what to do. (I skipped kindergarten myself, so I was in the opposite situation.)
