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.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

I will do that! I'll just be there one night, and I think it's Friday, even, so that's good.

Good luck Consuela!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, that's amazing.
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...
My BF Katie and I were thinking about going to Iceland for the eclipse. She's very planny! She plans all our trips; I just follow her around. We should get a group of Buffistas together to go; it would probably make it less expensive per person, and there's plenty of time to put plans in order.
Seriously, we should. It would be awesome.

I'm willing to trust Katie on your say so. Otherwise I will probably end up paying some tour group to arrange things for me. Make it so.
Huh, when did I last renew my passport? I should check that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need to pick a vacation destination this year.
Alaska! Or Bora Bora! Or Australia!
P.S. do you need a travel companion?
Also, SUSHI and Oysters when you are in SF and MV. When is that?
eta: I am totally in for an Iceland trip
