That was Sparkle, right, sumi? She was so impressive.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

Art Crawl!!!
Yes! And I believe that the Schnauzer that won was also 12 years old. Amazing.

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, meara! Cute friends that don't play mind games are plentiful enough. This one doesn't need to be included.
I'm fairly sure at least some of my extended family in the Mohawk Valley in Upstate New York added the faint t sound in my Uncle Nelson's name.
Wait a minute! We have the same last name and you have family where I was born and raised. I don't care if we can't find a hard link; I am declaring us related!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I spent way too much money on going to Memphis for theatre and sushi today, but after weeks of working nights and weekends I really needed a day to just unwind. Hand to God certainly filled that prescription, it was hilarious and outrageous (there's a puppet sex scene). And the sushi place had excellent duck tataki, which ended up being a meal-sized portion rather than the appetizer I was expecting.

Tonight I managed to ruin both onion rings and grilled cheese.
Some parts of adulting and living on land are awesome. Facing the fact that I'm 30 and I don't know how cook - like, AT ALL? Is not one of them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, and you're assigned to a particular ward/worship cohort depending on where you live. If you move, you're then assigned to a different ward, possibly a different building.
But then when you move, you lose all your church friends? That seems like the opposite of what church is for.

Yay for the gray muzzle dogs. One of the rescues I vol with is specifically for the olds. I think in the future those will be my adoptees.

Pretty much. My LDS in-laws would talk about "Lovely Sister Whozit at the ward" and everything they do together, then they'd move, and Lovely Sister Whozit would never be mentioned again, it would be Dear Sister Thatzit. Theoretically, the entire church is your friend, so you can be friends with whomever you run into at church. They never seem to mind that much, it's just the way the world works. The idea is that your social life will revolve around church activities, so you won't have the need to hang out with someone who's not involved in the same activities you are.
As in any authoritarian organization, people get around this and dare to do things outside of the church circle. The Internet has been catastrophic for keeping people within the group.
