I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The adorable gay boys next to me are pretty adorable, though.

Aww. Yay gayboys! I'm also very jealous Dana because someone on my FB list posted that Hansens is open now. I was so sad it was so hard to find a year-round place when I was there at Thanksgiving!

I went and did the float thing, where you go in a tank full of epsom salted water and float for an hour! I wasn't really a huge fan though. It was interesting for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Eventually, my tummy was unhappy so I had to sit up...and then I got salty water in my eyes...and then I was Done. Lasted about 45 minutes. Don't think I'll go back, but it was interesting to have tried!

I want to try lots of things I haven't done (this is a continuation of last summer's stand-up-paddleboarding and skydiving adventures). Anyone got suggestions?

Herding cats for fun

Zip lining through the redwoods? Camel trek through the desert? Perhaps a little white water rafting or a mega trip to the Mall of America??

Connie: Nowhere special, just in a few months it's gonna be super-hot again and the weather taunts will be coming from the other direction.

Hah--Katie Bee, one of the things currently on a (mental) list is running a race through the redwoods (there seem to be a few different ones). White water rafting could be a thing. I think I want to add tubing this summer (I've done it before but not in a long time, and not here in Washington), but that requires friends. Dunno about camels, though--might leave that one to Aimee. But maybe a horseback ride? (I haven't been on a horse since I was like, 10).

OK, you ARE adventurous! I've been tubing and thought it was delightful and low tech. How about llama backpacking in Yosemite? Llamas carry baggage. At least in the Eighties you could do that...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Llamas carry baggage.

Hence all the drama llamas.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not anymore, the llamas ran away.

Punishingly Intricate

Lisah, is the snowmelt the sugar based stuff? Sarah got it one year and we loved it but haven't seen it since. So much less corrosive. Slightly sticky, but no more so than the mess -chlorides make.

I'm not sure. It's the petsafe stuff. And is blue.

My dogwalk earlier this evening was pretty terrifying. I tried to stay on the snow as much as possible. And walked like a penguin. Fortunately, CB is pretty good on the leash and not a puller. She's pretty happy to go really slow and really get some intense smellin' in. And it doesn't seem like she's going to need another walk before bed. PLEASE let it rain some and melt overnight.

Sugar stuff is brown. Yeah, it's pretty death defying out there.
