Who played the Drum to your Weezah? Who gets puffy lipped when struggling through diabetic shock? How does Ragin' Cait-jun confront the antics of her nare-do-well, impish brothers on her wedding day? Also, I already miss those vernacular texts. Have you forgotten already? I think you might pen the next Tom Sawyer...but with Leatherface as the protagonist (okay, I clearly don't know enough about TMNT to pull that off, but I'm trying to ingratiate myself here). As an adorable side note, one of my fave kids recently told me that she rules because she's a tomboy, to which I (overly) enthusiastically responded: "I love tomboys!" Then we talked about tomboyery, and what makes someone a tomboy. I also clued her in to the fact that I know all kinds of grown up ladies who are tomboys, and it's not something one has to outgrow. To which she responded, "Hmm. Grown up tomboys?!?! Do you call 'em "tomwomen?" I responded with a single, silent tear and a slow clap. End scene.

The more I read, the more I'm feeling personally invested in the journey ... you know, from afar, with a shower and ready access to Stumptown.

The evil driver/ nice person phenomenon is a real major crisis in humans everywhere. 2 Weeks holy crap... when does that start? Keep Rockin, and Rulin! Glad you weathered the storm unscathed!

My favorite part was when you talked about your new "new hose-wielding skills." *That* is something I didn't expect from you. ;) Nice pics. What kind of camera do you use? I've been looking for something durable to take on various running/cycling adventures. NICE.
