You know that thing where you bite your tongue or the inside of your cheek and then it swells up and so you accidentally bite it multiple times?
Just bit my lip hard four times in a row trying to finish a bagel.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I hope the bagel was tasty as hell and therefore worth it.

Now poking around doing fix up projects on my house here since that is how he rolls.
Does he understand what rest means?

The status is NOT quo.
Laura's DH is incapable of sitting still, in my experience!
Just got a report from my cousin that she and my dad have no power but are okay so far. Just high winds. The worst of the storm is still a couple of hours away.

Our wings are not tired.

Yep. He is outside washing his truck now. He is doing something or sleeping. He has only 2 modes. He has to have hernia surgery, which has been delayed several times because of his weight. I dread his recovery because sitting around not doing anything will be pure torture.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
In a little while one of Mr. S's friends from daycare will be over for a playdate.

It was tasty but not PAIN good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sorry about the bite, David. It always feels like unconscious self-flagellation.
Laura, such good news about your family--and aside from the hernia (afaik), we're married to similar men. Teach him to knit! H does sudoku incessantly when he's not building, repairing, or improving something for us or the neighbors. If he sits, he dozes off. Must stay busy!
Everybody else, stay safe! In or out of pink shortie overalls. (In my yout' we called 'em overhauls)
We had rain for two days and a brisk wind last night, and we're all clear. I would love to share the rain, though not the wind, farther east and south.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So looking at all the Irma footage...
Havana got badly flooded. Waist high in the streets. Their power grid took major damage and won't be back up any time soon.
Haiti - while it avoided the worst of the storm - has a very fragile power grid, so even a light swipe is likely to make things very bad.
In the Keys, it looked like Marathon was mostly underwater. I know that the roof came off the operations center for emergency responders in Key Largo.
Huge storm surge in Miami. Brickell Avenue was waist deep in water.
Just hit Marco Island on the gulf coast, and it's going into Naples now. I'm afraid there's going to be a massive (10 to 15 foot) storm surge in the St. Pete/Tampa area. That's going to cause heavy flooding similar to Harvey.
They're getting gusts from 130 to 142 as it goes into Naples. That's really bad.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Any news on Sarasota?
