We're headed home from vacation tomorrow. I keep forgetting that F doesn't have camp or school next week. It's been a good vacation, but I need to be alone in a quiet room for a day now.

Our wings are not tired.
Also, I'll be in SF from Sept 8 through Sept 12, if anyone wants to meet up.
Aaaaaaand I will be in Philly for most of that time (a conference I did not want to attend, but must. Grrrrr).

Wow, Matt, that sounds great!

Today was one in a series of busy days. But I arranged for vacation time and a visit to see my great niece in late October, so I just have to get through the next couple of months.

Newsflash: it's still hot here. I'm out of ice but I made a pina colada with frozen pineapple and no ice and it's pretty good! Excessive Heat Warning is supposed to end tonight, really looking forward to that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Boo, Nanita.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Took me a minute. Do not want jelly of Matt. Am glad you had a great time, Matt.
It's fun watching msbelle fly from here. Digits still crossed everything goes right.

But jelly of me would taste like Dr. Pepper!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm afraid I should be discreet on Facebook because maybe not everyone in my family knows yet, but my cousin David (one of two living cousins) died yesterday in a weird accident. He dropped something sharp on his foot, cut open a big blood vessel and bled out before the ambulance arrived. He was only 65, in good shape & healthy except for asthma and a bum knee, from long-lived stock and we all expected he'd be going well into his 80s, as I supposed he expected as well.
I'm especially upset for my cousin, who lost her mom, my beloved Aunt, two years ago, and is coping with her father's Alzheimer's as well as the deterioration of her difficult in-laws.
I'll copy this over to Facebook later, but I just wanted to get it out somewhere before I bust.
