We dropped Franny off at her friend's house for family fun/local fair. Isaac got a last minute invite to spend the night too, but when it became clear his sister wanted to just see her friend, he said that's okay, he'll hang with us. So far that has meant a water balloon fight which pretty much made his day. Now for barbeque, and then maybe we go see fireworks up close and maybe we don't. Not a bad way to spend the holiday, but not at all like the block parties we used to have when I was a girl.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac doesn't wanna go out, so I'm cleaning the grill and gonna start on that.
I'll be marathoning Breaking Bad for the rest of the weekend. I just watched the pilot and it seems the most American on shows I could watch. crappy healthcare, drug culture, the wild west.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That works.
Oh, did I tell you guys? When I took off my coveralls, I found at least 3 WIRES sticking out of my legs! Grinders are no joke.
(I'm so hardcore, just yanked them out. Heh.)
Put chicken in my spinach & strawberry salad for the first time in ages. Might keep me from feeling like complete ass tomorrow. I can't wait to get in the pool, though. 2 days without it and one that was short, I miss it!

My cousin+ walked the Freedom Trail today, then got together with me for a movie and apres-cinema Mr Crepe visit, with a side visit to the candlepin bowling place off Davis Square. They're headed home tomorrow, alas, but they've gotten their Tour on enough, and they'll be back to visit the young'un at her college soon enough.

I'm hoping they were out walking in the morning! Davis is a good source for indoor amusements, at least....

Yes, through the morning, until it got too rainy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Went out running today and listening to Snap Judgment as I went, I heard possibly the most horrendous break-up story I have ever, ever heard. There have been worse and crueler break-ups (though this one was pretty bad and pretty cruel), but it's the aftermath that slaughtered the poor guy. It's the last of the five segments. I told Hec about it and he agreed that it sounded pretty freaking brutal.

I walked across the street and watched the City fireworks with a fair number of the neighborhood.
