Happy Birthday Kate P!
I discovered that I either misremembered how long to bleach a jack-o-lantern to preserve it, or used far too much bleach. Who knew that you could bleach pumpkin flesh white and jelly-like? (Will still work fine if it solidifies upon drying, though.)
Shir and Nilly, thanks for taking the time to check in. I too can’t believe the Pi kids are so grown.
ltc earned her blue belt in karate last night! She is very proud of herself, as she should be.
I'm kind of depending on Georgia to save the entire Democracy now. Can they bar him from the ballot down there if he's convicted?
Michigan is trying to bar Trump from the ballot. If enough states do so, it won't matter that the Republicans nominate him. (Seriously, I can't see him winning without MI and GA.)

Congratulations!
I woke up with Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" stuck in my head, and it will not budge.
Thanks for sharing. That sounds sarcastic, but I mean it sincerely.
Happy birthday Kate!

Considering I discovered bleach could eat through my cabinet floor….not surprised.
Who knew that hearing about lawyers taking plea deals would be such a good time? Not me
Thanks for highlighting the privilege ramifications, Vortex.

It has now been replaced by Whitesnake. I can’t explain it and I don’t make the rules; I just go with it.
I don't think I will follow you there, Tep. Then again, I have no control of the music playing in my head so who knows?
Today we get to celebrate the birthday of Kate P!
::French horn fanfare::
There was a time in our lives at the old apartment where Kate and SA would stay with us almost annually as they came and went on their various "I'm in my early 20s and I'm traveling" days.
I remember Kate on her way back from India, and SA ripping about a hundred of my CDs to her laptop.
I'm grateful to have had them in our lives for so long that I got to watch them both come into their adulthood.
The last time I saw Kate was when she visited with her husband, and I talked with him about doing a blurb for his book on The Kinks while we breakfasted at Zazie.
The last time I saw SA she made a trip down from Portland to reconnect, and I took her to the Ice Cream Bar.
