The key is to not let them see the whole bag of wrapped presents. One-by-one is magic. And burns up the clock. Signed, Parent of Buffista sprog who does not sleep.

BT, you and WB are likely going to land having slept half the flight each, while Ryan will be bright eyed and up to no good. I wish you lots of grandparents and aunts and uncles.

Laura, I hope you get your kayak back.

Pix, so glad your house is ok.

I hope the good sleep helps and you are able to enjoy the day, Zen.

I will remember the wrapped present idea for my traveling with kids friends. Cool.

Did another cruise through the canals and intracoastal in search of the wandering kayak. Nope. Put notice up on Craigslist. Blah.

"Be advised to be on the lookout for a runaway kayak. It has successfully escaped twice in the last day. Subject is not armed."

Come back, little kayak!

"in the event of recapture, paddling has been approved."

I keep hearing "Wildfire" playing in my head.

I kinda like the notion of naming the kayak Wildfire!

Boo! To the wayward kayak I hope it comes back. I have an unexpected break. We had an assessment on insurance stuff and the trainer said it would probably take awhike but there was a meeting she had to attend so she also told us to dp the next chapter.

All told she said it could take 2 hours or longer.

We both finished everything and double checked the assessment in an hour. Andit wasn't near as tedious or hard as tbe trainer claimed.

Come back, Little Kayak.

Kayak come home!!

Pix, glad it was just a false alarm.

I am getting my hair cut and colored at a Paul Mitchell school right now. They're doing a decades thing today, so my stylist is dressed all 80s. She was born in 1993. Oh lawdy, feeling old.

Here's hoping my hair turns out okay. She is about to graduate and seems pretty capable...
