If you missed the Tonys' opening number, and have any interest in musical theater, you should really watch it: [link]
I don't have real teevee, so I watched this am, and I cried. I think big opening numbers have the same effect on me as parades do.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just watched it and cried a little, too. I'm not even much of a theater person!

What battery powered mower do you use Rick? I like my battery powered trimmer a lot and may look into battery mowers eventually.
I use a Black & Decker. Actually, I use two of them, because the one Amazon sent me had a crack in the housing, and they decided is was too expensive to arrange for me to return it. They just sent me a second one and let me keep the original. So one mower charges while I'm using the other one.
All of the major brands are currently transitioning to lithium batteries, which are much lighter, so if you can put it off for a while you will probably be happier with the product.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Good to know. We're thinking of getting one if we move. The new yard might be small enough to make it practical.

Well he did a great job! I just watched it again, and the whole spectacle makes me tear up, but the "everyone up here today, we WERE that kid, and now we're bigger" was very moving.

Well he did a great job!
He really did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was a busy weekend. Leif had three one and half hour soccer tryouts. Two of them were for the middle school team. Since he skipped a grade and isn't too far from the cut-off date, he was trying out with kids one and a half to three years older. That makes a huge difference at that age. Not to mention Leif is also small for his age. He didn't make the cut, but he played hard and didn't back down even though he looked like a little kid out there. We were pretty proud of him. They are going to let him practice with the team even though he didn't make it.
One more round of try-outs for teams a year older than his age to go. He has a place on a U12 team so at least there's no question of him being able to play.
He wants to play on the high school team, and we really need to get it through to him that physical skills aren't like academic skills. He thinks once he learns something, he doesn't need to keep practicing it because that's how it works for him academically.

Aw, poor Leif. Age makes such a difference there.
Ok, buffistas advice time: last night my throat felt like everyone I swallowed I was being stabbed with a tiny knife on one side of my throat--like I had something sharp stuck in my throat. Looked at it with a flashlight and mirror, and maybe there's a white spot? Or maye throats just look weird? I decided to get up early and go to the minute clinic place--it might be costly but I could go in before my trip today. But then I woke up and my throat doesn't really hurt at all. What to do??
