Seriously marune...how do you get anything done? I would be in the same boat with t_isfor_. There's a reason why they push you into little cubicles deep in the heart of a building...they want to see work get done.

Planes are pretty nifty. All I get to look at out our window are cars and businessmen on cell phones. The cars aren't on cell phones - only the businessmen.

hola chiquita-banana. this post reminds me of two things:
1. my parents, when they were dating (over the span of 10 yrs) used to do simple things like go watch the planes take off--for hours; *just an idea* {my mother, who is not the romantic one in the relationship by a long shot, loved it and to this day it is one of the few romance/lovey dovey stories she tells about my dad back in the day}

2. there's this song that you should listen to (provided you're not in a crummy-i'm-girl-my-ass-is-bigger-than-the-pacific-ocean-and-the-guy-i-think-i-might-kind-of-have-a-mild-crush-on-is-a-jerk-face-bastard kind of mood) by this guy named glenn phillips. he really [i'm lying] helped me out after my last break up. titled: *well now i don't remember it. but the word "tarmac" reminded me of it, mostly b/c b4 the song i had no clue what a tarmap was:

and if you said you were going away i'd run on the tarmac and i would lay down in front of the plane just to get you to stay.so many stories; so little reply space ( ... )

Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle.
- Biship Phillips Brooks

I found this in an email you sent me in Nov of '03. It seemed fortuitously relevant.
