I have spent most of the day transporting and unpacking boxes and throwing shit away. I get a break now, right?

ON the plus side, morning was spent celebrating a certain girl's 11th year. It's not every year your young lass turns 11, as Hagrid would say.

Way late in my context for an earlier reaction, but wanted to put it out there. When Robin Williams died, I was also dealing with the fact that one of our dear family friends, also a man in his 60s with two kids I babysat for years, had also committed suicide the week before. I was watching how it impacted the whole family and grieving. So ita, I actually agree that no one can say what the right answer is for an individual, and maybe sometimes suicide is the only answer. I just wasn't able to debate it then.

Oh Pix, I'm sorry, that's so hard.

I'm sorry, Pix.

So I am watching the Supernatural pilot. I may need guides and or a support group if this takes.

I binge-watched eight seasons last summer. The decorations in their motel rooms started to get really entertaining.

Hey, Hil, want to look up some genealogy stuff for me?

I may never eat a roast beef sandwich again. I got one from the cafe at work yesterday-all I ate besides the usual fruit, and let's just say I've been paying for it all day today. I am pretty sure I was extra buoyant swimming today. Uhg. I don't eat a lot of meat or bread, so unsure which is the culprit. But it was really awesome roast beef. Just not worth this.

Sure.

I've traced back to a Johann Wichner, 1700-1772, who is the first non-French ancestor I've found. He emigrated from Germany at some point, but without an Ancestry.com membership, I can't find any details about him. I'm just curious to see what you can find.

Interestingly, I think "Wichner" becomes "Vicknair" once he and his wife move to Louisiana.
