Interesting. I have never seen that link before. I do recognize all the street names, though. My landlord lives on one of the streets shown.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Possible in the sense of I am here right now? Then yes. I was hoping you might be able to break away sometime Thurs lunch or afternoon. Weds night also a possibility.

Oh, you bet I can! Thursday probably best, but Wednesday night is workable. My profile addy is good if you want to e-mail me.

Woo!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

No news from the family. I have to believe that someone would let me know if they weren't okay. Yes, this really is how my family communicates.

Anyone know how ita is doing? Is she still in the hospital?

I'm going through old photographs (ah, melancholia), and I've found a few shots that weren't half bad. I have the negatives, but I'm wondering how good negatives from 1982 will still be. Am I looking at something that's going to cost much more than it's worth, to try and get prints and/or digital copies of these pictures?

Also, I have prints from the same era but no negatives. How hard would it be to get decent digital copies? I want to send one to my sister, but I don't want to send my only copy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We had a picture printed from a 35mm slide taken more than 30 years before, Connie, and it turned out super good. We took it to one of those 24 hour photo places. This was probably a dozen or so years ago. Now, your photo center at Staples or Office Max could probably reproduce the print digitally. It would be worth a call to see if they could print and then digitize your negative.

Nothing ~ma for your sister. And a bit of time away does not end your being a buffista. You can't escape that easily (or at all). Still: one of us, one of us, one of us....

Mmm, another day of waking irrevocably before the alarm at 5:45. WTF?

Sister~ma, Fay.

Sorry to see you're up, Sarameg.

I am in San Antonio, about to catch a plane home and get my child out of hock. (The DH is in Geneva - the roll of bills I will have to give to the nanny for watching her while we have both been gone is going to look like a very large drug deal is going down).

Also, I am again asking for your reposting/retweeting magic, because the WaPo wrote a story about our dog: [link]

This is me, but substitute 4:00 AM for 5:45. Best go swimming.
