That is awesome Taylor news! What a wonderful attitude, and great accomplishment.
Bouncy house with light sabers is a different kind of awesome.

I just keep thinking that she was one of 1500 IN THE WORLD at this science fair. I never got out of state regionals (granted, I was lazy but privileged) but she's been hooked up with really good mentors who can hone their mentee's work into worldclass shit. Her parents and teachers and counselors in BCPS have done right with this kid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But 5 years olds with foam light sabers are a little vicious.
I can imagine.

sarameg, that's fantastic!
I LOVE bouncy-houses. LOVE. If I'd had the money last November, my birthday party would have been at the local business where you can rent bouncy rooms for parties. They have a grown-up option with blacklights and bringing in your own music.

I'm watching last night's Grey's and I think I'd like to see what would happen if Shonda and Tim teamed up.
Hah! I like the way you think. Though I'd be happier for it to happen on Private practice. I feel like they need fewer "omg internal drama" stories and more "gunman is killing us all!" stories.

I quit watching Private Practice a while back, maybe such a change would have kept me around.

I went to a place called BounceLand for my niece's birthday party. I left with aching wrists and ankles, lacking in dignity, and a little wistful for the elasticity of youth.
I bought Hendrick's on the way home from work this evening. I like it! Definitely much less pungent than London dry gins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
sara, that is really amazing.
I have never bouncy housed.
I am frustrated at my ice cream maker right now. It's one of the ones where you freeze the bucket that the ice cream goes into, and it feels like they take forever to freeze. These weren't even entirely melted.
So, of course, I look at the ice cream makers with their own refrigeration unit and think...jesus fucking christ, ita, you cannot have every single purpose space-occupying kitchen gadget.
(Besides that powered cookie press looks fasc...STOP)

Yeah, it's kind of a singular gin. I mean, there are other oddball gins, but it's been around for a while and has a very distinct flavor profile. It is very tasty though.
