Currently in Atlanta waiting for my connection home. My day started in Belfast at 6am their time, but I managed a nap on the first flight from Dublin and am feeling okay. I’m hopeful that Drew will pick me up and we will beat the post-fireworks traffic home from LAX (not to mention at the Rose Bowl). If I get in on time and my bag makes the transfer, I think we will be getting home right around the time they end. It was an amazing trip. I posted a photo album to FB but should probably throw it over onto Flickr for folks who aren’t there. Beautiful country.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm off to the Braves game.
Oh! Have fun. I don't enjoy baseball on tv, but I love a live game.
I am planning on walking to the intracoastal bridge where I can get a great view of the beach fireworks. Trying to decide how early I need to leave. My sister and brother are visiting and they won't go, so they get to dog sit. Guess I should warn them that my 75 pound dog becomes instant lap dog at the sound of the boom.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We went to the Northside parade with Steph and Tim and friends and family!
I'm so glad you guys came! It was so much fun! Best damn parade ever.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Why ruin the surprise?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Connie, I'm so sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think I'm going to be the wet blanket and beg off from the fireworks-watching, after all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been the wet blanket many times and I'm sure I will be again. It's okay.
I have celebrated the fourth by eating what I assume are the most patriotic of nuts, pistachios. Anything I manage beyond that is gravy.

It is thunder storming at the moment. This will be a last moment decision.

I think it is going to take an hour to scrub me clean. And I've eaten nothing today. Oops.
