Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
WHAT WONDERFUL NILLYNEWS!! This has turned The Monday After A Long Weekend, usually a particularly evil Monday, into a happy day of celebration!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, David, it's time for my annual question about what I should give my cousin for Christmas. He's a year younger than Emmett, and I like to give him books...

I was thinking it would make a good present to hide until the new baby comes so that we can distract him with a new toy while all of our attention goes to his sister.

We're definitely riding a bit of a nice streak with Baby Pi, lisah's wedding, Erin's new job and even Kathy's surgery.

Wait. You got a call that said, "Please hold for the Provost's secretary?"
Yep. Well actually, it was "do you have a minute to talk to ___"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My sister just texted me asking to buy my 11yo nephew a Kindle.

My 11yo daughter could use a Nook or Kindle (probably Nook for checking out from the library), maybe then her bed wouldn't be constantly covered with books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, Tom, can you buy me a Cintiq? It doesn't even have to be the big one. TIA!

My sister emailed me, wanting to know if we should both pitch in to buy our mom a Kindle or a Nook! Good lord, apparently it's the gift of the season.
