Iceland in 2015, is that for the solar eclipse? Man, I want to see that. Let's all go.
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...
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

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.

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

Well, getting off the continent is pretty easy, since two of my grandparents were immigrants.

Before they had last names is super impressive. My mom's done quite a bit of research for her side of the family, but not that far. My dad's side is really just lore, but there's a lot of it, which is almost like research. In the way that anecdotes are like data. You know, good enough for me to mention in cocktail chatter.

I've got several lines pretty reliably back to the 1600s. It's very handy to connect in to New England colonists and their genealogically obsessed descendents.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Consuela!
I'm going to Iceland briefly along with Paris! I think I'm going to go to the spa that Mr. Robin went to recently, because why not? Unless someone tells me about other amazing things to do in Reykjavik in the winter.

Winter in Reykjavik is very dark and dreary, but places that thrive on darkness like clubs and bars intensify to a high level, and are filled with amazingly attractive people. Worth a evening of people watching.
