Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Aw yay for a pride service. And I'd want to go to Toronto too, their pride is awesome.
Our church has had a group in the Pride parade every year since the mid-90s. We have a pride service pretty often as well, but this year there's been an extra push from the wife of our new minister. At least 20 people have committed to marching, and more said they'd like to, but aren't sure. Since the entire congregation is only around 100, that's pretty good turnout!

Aside from the temperature, it's looking to be a great day so far. The papa alley cat is now waiting around for my approach (cat food in hand) in the mornings, my snapdragons are beginning to bloom, a sprig of basil I got from a co-worker has taken root, I found some tasty concord grapes for sale at the farmer's market, and Mom is going to take a break to come see RED2 with me. (Our last mother-son movie was The Artist last February.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If you have time, aurelia, and want to get together, let me know!

I will. I'm a little afraid that my father will have every day scheduled though.

Speaking of my father... It seems some ducks had a nest hidden near my parents house and the mama duck chose last weekend to march all the babies to the nearby lake. They had to cross a fairly busy street to get there so my dad went out and stopped traffic for them. How cute is that?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Um, EXTREMELY cute?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Make way for ducklings!

FWIW, they do sell doggy (bitchy?) diapers just for that problem

Yeah, and some dogs (like the Diva) tear them right off.

Ok, I have screwed around on the internet for too long. Time to be productive.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I remember productivity! It's the opposite of pretty much what I do these days!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have made two discoveries already today

First, even though I think it's really funny when Charlie decides he needs to lick Bubba's ears, it is less funny when he does it to me.

Also, I am tears running down my face levels of allergic to whatever kind of lilies they are selling at Costco right now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I don't want to gloat, but by the online weather thing, it's sunny and 61F right now, 70% humidity, "feels like" 61, expected high 76F, and 57F overnight. The drop from 86 is welcome.

My weekend consists of cheering on the neighbors' gardening efforts, and trying to meet a writing deadline. Maybe some deadheading in my container garden, watering for sure.
