Gearing up for more travel: tomorrow to Seattle, Sunday to Fort Collins, Co, and Tues to Hoxie, KS for 5 days. In the latter 2 places temps have been between 100-110f. I don't enjoy these temperatures. Thank goodness places now have AC. I remember being in Australia as a child, before my aunt and uncle got airconditioning. It was about 115f and we ( Read more... ) -

Back from Alaska. Now recovering from some 24 hour stomach bug. Finally caught up on my on-line reading, but not ready to contribute much. It was a good trip, but I am so glad to be HOME. Home in Olympia. -

It looks like Adam's kickstarter campaign looks like it might get full funding. !!! This is so exciting. Adam would have continued with this project anyway even if he didn't get funded, but this way he can produce the majors-only deck and hopefully gain support for a full deck. I'm so proud of him.

Just so's you know. -
Red letter spam
Today is Bennett's fourth birthday. My inlaws are coming up from San Diego today and we're going to Chuck E Cheese for lunch. I've never ever been to one before. Ever since B spied the place (across from the glasses store in the mall) he has been asking to go. So..... today's the day. The things we do for our kids ( Read more... ) -
The Help
I just finished watching The Help, spread out over two days. I thought I could watch it with the kids, but trying to explain dialog and racism to Bennett *and* watch a movie... not worth it ( Read more... ) -

How things change
When I met Adam 8.5 years ago he told me he blogged and I laughed at him. He told me about some relationships he had on forums -some romantic- and I thought that was ridiculous. Then I got roped into LJ as a way to stay in touch with Alaska friends ( Read more... )
