That's not how it works! That's not how any of this works!
Preach it, sister. And I'm doing this internally, with my own people.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

No more colds!
It was blissfully rainy here last night and Noah was thrilled because his cub scout den made rain gauges. I'm annoyed that it's not a 1 inch cylinder (they used water bottles) because I can't figure out how an inch is really an inch in this system. Doesn't matter as he was excited.
He also got an award on Monday, which he was stoked about. It was for the character trait that they had this month (honesty)and he was supposed to invite us to the ceremony but forgot to give us the envelope.
Ever since he got an award, he's been an absolute peach of a kid too! I wonder if it would be like this if we could figure out how to have him get awards all the time.
Grace does not have that reaction, though. She gets an award, is proud and then sort of indifferent.
AND, my team got a $10,000 award which we are going to spend on books, mostly non fiction -- Henrietta Lacks, A Few Seconds of Panic and Unbroken are my first choices.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Good things, Kat!
We are hoping hoping for rain. We are optimistically planning on restacking and covering the firewood tomorrow morning in anticipation of precipitation's arrival on the afternoon. We shall see what actually transpires.

If the rain is evenly distributed across the plane parallel to the ground (just go with me here, we're gonna discount friction and drag as well) then it doesn't matter what diameter cylinder it is, an inch of verticality measures the same rate of rainfall.

I needed a day. I need to buy stain and varnish samples. And scrap pine. And gas up my car, do some bank shit and other minor errands. Since I also want to swim, I just decided to toss the whole day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We are having folks over for an impromptu gathering in honor of a friend in from out of town tomorrow night. I should be cleaning right now, but I'm watching an episode of "The Saint" and slounging instead. I realized while driving home tonight that our gathering will include one Oscar nominee and one Oscar winner (both screenwriters).Pretty snazzy! Luckily, since they are merely writers, I'm pretty certain they will enjoy sitting around our small-but-comfy North Hollywood house and eating cheap take-out Thai food, since they have in the past.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I love watching the weather roll up the valley. Clouds are now hiding the mountains. I can see the world!
Oh, I love that part. Watching weather happen is like earthy magic.

ALL of the Henrietta Lacks. Until I read the other two, at least. I need to read more.
