Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

What play, sarameg?

The status is NOT quo.

We are total screw ups however because we neglected to get a single picture. Too busy enjoying the company and scenery.

I had the same thought! F2F fail! But great to see you both.

Science Fair! As if presented in a middle school assembly. This is a production held every year for the past, um...19? Years at two city pools. Every year is different, and original. A friend of mine helped write the war of 1812 one (the year of theStarSpangled Banner festivities.) It's whimsical and silly and people of all shapes and sizes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

This is fairly amusing: there's a trucking company's lot across the street from Tim's work (in our neighborhood); when we drove past it today, there was a partially burned-out Lincoln in the otherwise empty lot, but no police tape or anything like that. Tim said he saw the un-burned Lincoln earlier in the week, and then saw it all burned up on Friday.

Someone posted on our neighborhood bulletin board about the car and wanted to know if anyone had called it in to the police. Turns out, there have been crews in the area filming a movie about John Gotti (which I knew), and the burned-up Lincoln is from the filming. I told Tim I feel much safer knowing the only people sketchy enough to burn up a Lincoln are the Hollywood people.

That's funny, Tep.

And that sounds wonderful, sarameg! I saw a production of The Frogs years ago that featured synchronized swimming, and it was very cool, but did not become an ongoing tradition like that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

HOLY CRAP KATIE LEDECKY.

Nothing to see here. Just didn't know I could get so excited about swimming.
