Wow, that's super crazy, le nubian! Is erika being swallowed up by that?
I'm using Calibre right now! Guess how great it is?
Love it, really.

My onerous task for tomorrow is to get on the phone with the hotel I stayed at in San Francisco and yell at them a lot. So that's going to be fun.

The status is NOT quo.
Thank you, people! You have inspired me to start swimming. I (finally) picked up some goggles and a swim cap today since not having those is one of the major reasons I never actually use the pool at my gym. Any tips for a beginning swim routine that I can build on?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I have a friend who took a picture of that dust storm . She was out hooping ( she is going to hoop the Susan G korman 3 day ) and she got home just before it hit

Pix, what are you looking to do? Some people prefer just to get in and swim as hard and as far as they can stand. I like novelty so I have several workouts that mix things up.
OH! And I swam 100 yards of butterfly today for the first time in, oh, FOREVER. I only felt like I was drowning myself once or twice.

Shrift, what happened with the hotel?
ION, NEW PUPPY. My sister's new golden retriever arrived today: she's a little tubby round furball with sharp little teeth. SO CUTE.
And the St. Bernard has not tried to eat her, although he does seem a little uncertain about what's going on.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What's hooping?

I can't butterfly, Kat, but I'm a good swimmer otherwise. I was thinking maybe alternating freestyle with breast stroke to start. I am tying to get in shape, basically, but I'm really out of shape at the moment.
