'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think if you're sick but have to travel, a sleeper car is the way to do it!

I only ever got to ride a sleeper car once, and I was too tired/stressed by the con I'd been at that I only dozed a little. These days I'm armed with anti-anxiety and sleep-inducing medicine, not to mention wonders like iPods and laptops that can run WiFi and play DVDs. Truly we live in an age of wonders.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday, ChiKat!

I am also envious of Liese's glamorous train travel. It sounds fun, eating quiche on a train.

That reminds me, should take the kids on the train again. We went to San Diego once, which was nice. I'm thinking San Juan Capistrano would be a good destination. The train depot there is very cute, and we could take the kids to see the Mission.

I am loving my peacock purple nails. I try to keep them polished, but I'm usually too busy/lazy to be consistent.

not your mom's socks.

Happy Birthday ChiKat!!

Liese, please send photos! I'd love to take a train somewhere besides the NEC sometime.

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

Happy Birthday Chikat!

Aimee, have you seen this shirt?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sleeper cars are awesome! Just kinda' pricy when you're by yourself.

But a two-day trip from Chicago to San Francisco on a train is just so much fun.

The most awesome name for a scientific theory: Necropanspermia

Necropanspermia: was life created by zombie cells from outer space?

I just bought me a bunch of Nfu Oh polish. Fairly sure it wasn't needed. Except the olive green, that was absolutely necessary.

Ooo! 125? (The olive.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I got a photo of my teammate's broken arm. As derby bruises go, this one's a winner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's a really heartbreaking story about an Alzheimer's family we know: [link] In the video, you can see the side of my father's face! With beard. As well as the cute middle son, who is in my support group.
