I have to get my baby tooth removed. It's one of the molars, so I suppose I haven't had it 35 years, but probably 34? Or maybe 33. I don't really know when molars come in. But it's kind of sad, you know. It's been with me a long time. Still, I guess it's more filling than tooth at this point, and there's not much you can do about the fact ( Read more... )

We're back from vacation. I think we're heading down to IA tomorrow though, to see a friend who's in hospice. But we'll come back tomorrow night. Hard on the little one, but what can you do...

Oh, let's see. Short blurbs maybe this time.

Carbon Leaf: Concert was great. They played Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat which I like, and The War Was In Color which was even more compelling with the lights and stuff. Alas I had to leave early so I could get home at a reasonable hour (it was on a Tuesday, and it was the first time with a babysitter ( Read more... )

One silly:
Snakes Onna Plane! No Really! (ok the story itself isn't that interesting, but c'mon...)

Three interesting:
Russia end Chechnya operation I remember when the Chechnya operation started; I had been to Russia not that long before. I have a lot of mixed thoughts about this, and I don't think I can really articulate them without a long ( Read more... )
