Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I heard that! (Though I thought it was a truck.) And then started saying "please don't crash, please don't crash, please don't crash."

I might be the leastest bit paranoid.

K came to show me the landing picture to reassure me it had landed safely. I didn't used to be this superstitious about the shuttle.

There was an EARTHQUAKE too? No. Nuh-uh. I don't need to experience that.

Ruby was upset. She thought we got a new pet.

Did she roll all around where he'd been?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Princess Emeline!

I can't hear the words "sonic boom" without the video game yell, "SOOOONIC BOOOOOOOM!"

Poor, disappointed Ruby.

I finished off most of the remaining leftovers this afternooon. All we have left is a turkey leg, some bits of white meat and about a half a cup of cranberry sauce.

We're supposed to get 1-3" of snow tonight, too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday Emeline!

A long tech with not a lot to do leaves me struggling to stay awake. Send help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Emeline!

I am back in NYC, after a nice trip, but dag, I have got to make plans with other people for over Christmas -- too much family time is too much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Welcome home, Jesse!

Thanks! Looks like there were lots of good Thanksgivings around!

My cat was all riled up when I came in, and scratched me, which he never does, but then he puked and now he's OK. Goofy.

HB Emeline! Time passes so fast. I figured out the last time I think I saw bon was when Jessica was pregnant with D...

I expect feline madness chez Sara when I return.

Boo snow. I'm not looking forward to returning to the land of winter.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I took Miss Kitty out into the snow. She has never seen the white stuff before and at first she was ok with it and then it was a race to get back indoors.
