I haven't seen my tchotchkes in 5+ years. We knew when we moved in here that we'd have to put them away when the baby was born, so we just never bothered to unpack those boxes. Eventually we'll move to a bigger place and not have toddlers anymore, but in the meantime everything is still in storage.
Dylan was promoted in swim class today! I will never understand the YMCA class naming system though. In what universe is starfish a better swim level than pike? Starfish don't even move! But still, really really proud of him.

Maybe more arms = leveling up?
What exactly happened at the con?
All of my information is at least second-hand, but some guy was harassing a woman who reported it, and instead of banning him forever like their policy says, they gave him a two year probation. In the meantime, another woman reported that he had harassed her, but that got no response. The shady part is that the zero-tolerance policy had apparently been put into place to get rid of a specific creepy guy no one liked, and this most recent harasser is some con bigshot. So.
Starfish move, but they crawl and they don't swim.
Maybe more arms = leveling up?
Is Octopus a more advanced level? Then you'll know.
Yay Dylan!
the drop-off of odd knicknacks to me
Kind of like leaving offerings at a holy shrine.
Also, watching this women's water polo game reminds me how much bullshit the BMI is. Those women are FIT. And I bet most of them are "overweight."
I wish my local paper had headlines like this:
Abstinence? You must be completely mad! Meet the amorous Italian swimming couple reveling in the Summer of Love Olympic village

Not that the specific creepy guy wasn't also a harasser, just to be clear.
