And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, we’re expecting a baby but it could be a velociraptor.

Having just rewatched Jurrasic Park over the weekend, I'm quite relieved it turned out to be a baby!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Congrats to Jon, FAQWife and FAQBaby!!!

And happy b-days to Calli and Burrell!!!

Bosses are taking us all out for lunch today to thank us for handling the transition as well as we have. Then, I'm taking the afternoon off to go to campus and finish off my homework for tonight's class and to get started on the paper that's due next week (on the Shakers). But after class, I'm coming home and more than likely going to bed early--I'm tired already.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks, all!

Calli, it's your birthday? We should do something!

Ya know, I was thinking of lighting the firepit this Saturday evening, weather permitting. Get some wine, maybe hook up Anny's speakers to my iPad, and have a nice mellow celebration.

Also, Happy Birthday Burrell!

Happiest of birthdays to Burrell and Calli.

Can I go back to sleep now? Please?

Hubby was at the temporary Halloween store in town, and when he was in line he noticed a woman who looked familiar. She caught him staring at her and gave him a mild stink eye. Hubby said, "This will sound odd, but do I look familiar to you?" (His memory is crap anymore, and the oddest people from his past crop up and he doesn't always recognize them.)

The woman laughed and said, "With a line like that, I would remember you, but no."

They chat a moment, then get to the registers, where the cashiers all go Squee! and say to the woman, "Oh, we love your music! I have all your CDs!"

Hubby says, as the woman gets progressively more uncomfortable, "Wouldn't you rather act a bit more professionally? She's here to buy something--and I don't think she's going to sign your iPod," he adds to a clerk who was clutching an iPod.

The woman peers suspiciously at him. "You know who I am."

He shrugs. "I recognized your laugh."

At this point in the story, I ask, "Who was it?"

"Loreena McKennit." (We have all her CDs, too.)

Loreena said, "But I don't laugh on my albums."

"You laugh like you sing."

So they chat a bit while paying for their stuff. She's in town working on something. Hubby thought she could have been a touch more gracious towards the gushing people who keep her in business, but that she was quite nice otherwise.
