I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

And now I'm seeing Caligula at one of his orgies, grunting, "More power!"

Ahahahaha!!!

Which is just sick and twisted, but, hey... Caligula, right?

Per-zacktly!

Huh. Asthma attack. This is interesting. Haven't had one of these since last summer. Stupid allergies.

Hil, I just randomly got hives on my arms and feet. As far as I know, I haven't been playing with a known allergen -- it's just WHAM! Unexpected hives!

Benadryl is my friend.

Oh Barb! The stones and gems exhibit is my favorite of ALL the Smithsonian stuff. How nice for you! I hope you sleep well in our fair city and rise rested and refreshed.

“Not dead yet!”

The stones and gems exhibit is my favorite of ALL the Smithsonian stuff.

The tiny gallery where the Hope Diamond and Marie Antionette's earrings, et al were, was incredibly crowded and for the life of me, I don't understand why people had to take multiple photographs of the things. This is what postcards are for, people! However, out in the main part with the minerals and rough gems was wonderful. We really enjoyed those-- each of us found our respective birthstones which was cool, to see all the variations, beyond that which you find in the stores.

Tomorrow's going to be my day. I LOVE American History.

American History is a fun museum. They reorganized it a few years ago, and I haven't liked some of the new exhibits, but there's still plenty of great stuff there.

Drew, can I check the bag at the pier? I'm not coming from the airport on Saturday, and I need the bag the next two days.

Yep you can check at the pier. There will be a line at the curb.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

He answered immediately: "You tie a rope around the sticky-out-y end, and tie the free end of the rope to the person's hair, like a hogtie."

Told'ja. I'm sure there's an accoutrement to use if they don't have long hair.

And if not, I just invented one.
