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 love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

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

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.

Reposted, Sparky. Damn, I hope someone finds her.
We had a beloved Scotty named Sassafras (Sassy).
ION, had A BAD MOMENT this morning when the espresso machine wouldn't turn on. There was near-panic. But the little button on the wall switch had been turned off.
Have coffee. Praise Juan Valdez and his leetle burro.

Not early enough to get a swim in. And I don't go to bed until midnight.

I'm still at the stage where I'm all "Whoo! Get to WORK today!" The shiny will come off eventually... it's not quite a month since I accepted the job.
