No, he was definitely French himself. Weird.
And weirdly too, my sister just Skyped me to ask if she could ask a family member for names of local migraine doctors. Why they suddenly need my permission to talk amongst themselves is a bit of a surprise--it's not like I can't just ignore the information if I don't want it.

Why does listening to Mission Control and the Atlantis's final comm goodbyes make me tear up? I do believe it was time to close out the Shuttle (though I really wish there were something innovative on the docket) but...yeah, I grew up with the Shuttle. The dad of my best friend from 3-10 was a shuttle engineer, and I remember it landing at White Sands. And Challenger. And Columbia. And then it became a part of my working life, and STS-125 had me so stressed out for the safety of my astronauts and telescope.
I'll never make it into orbit, childhood dreams long gone. But we grew up with that possibility tangible.

I bet Loki would LOVE a pet hedgehog!
Considering how he's been fetching and babying his favorite fake mouse unearthed the other night... OMG, I cannot have a pet hedgehog.
Where do you get a pet hedgehog?
We had the fox wander through the neighborhood again the other night. It's so pretty! But it comes a little close to the houses for my comfort.
I have an ex who had a pet hedgehog. I wanted one too til I met hers. It spit on me. Apparently they do that. It's sticky and gross.
The book lists resources. But I'm not looking.
