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

I don't know how quickly they can get them to you, but [link]

Ooh, I'll have to look at that again when I get home.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hi, Maria.

Winter is my least favorite season, and this winter isn't going to change my mind. Bleah.

Done is done, I'd say, unless it will nag at you.

They took a pass at my road today and actually cleared it down to pavement. Random complaining into the glowy box worked. Score.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Iceland in 2015, is that for the solar eclipse? Man, I want to see that. Let's all go.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been emailing back and forth with a sixth cousin (I think). She's traced the family back to before Jews in Germany had last names. The furthest-back ancestor she's found was a man who was born in 1710, who had at least three sons, who all got different last names. One of the three names makes sense -- it's a version of the father's first name -- but we have no idea where the other two came from. Best guess is that they came from house symbols -- most houses in those villages were marked with symbols, rather than numbers, and a lot of people took their name from the symbol of whichever house they were living in at the time.

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

Yes, total eclipse. Also, Iceland and all its wonders! I agree, we should all go. ideally, someone planny can get everything set up and I can just tag along...

Our wings are not tired.

I don't mind chiming in with 71 degrees in Oakland today, because the rest of you non-droughtees will not be suffering water rationing very soon. I am sick of the gorgeous weather and cannot enjoy it at all because it's horribly damaging to our environment and I am sick about it.

Word with java. We'll probably get a wet spring to encourage the growth that will burn this summer.

Indeed!

Wow Hil, that is impressive. We couldn't trace my dad off this continent. Mom is better, but lots of dead ends there too. I haven't had the energy to devote any time to this, but other relatives have.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That sounds so tempting, -t.
