You have a spare $5000 laying around, don't you?

Just saw my Uncle Frank off. Got the year on the bike wrong, it isn't one of his vintage bikes, it's a 2002. Company is vintage though. He thought he wouldn't leave until noon, but he was itching to get on the road, I could tell. Plus, it is cooler now. [link]
Good visit.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I counted "doing laundry" and "folding laundry" as separate to-do items. That may be cheating.
In my world, laundry is actually four separate tasks: washing, drying, folding, and putting away. If we get a clothesline set up at the new place, I have a feeling "taking laundry down from clothesline" will bring the total number of tasks up to five.
Today is moving day! And it's hot and sticky and disgusting. Ugh.

That sounds interesting, how expensive could it— HOLY ASS.
Good lord.

There'd better be gorgeous dancing boys cooking my favorite meal and holding intelligent conversation on interesting subjects for that price.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another hot day here. Such is DC in the summer.

Yeah, Post Ranch is ridiculously expensive. A former coworker stayed there for a wedding (not her own) because some Silicon Valley venture capitalist had rented the whole inn for his wedding. CRAZY.
Deetjens is definitely more reasonable. But not as posh.

The status is NOT quo.
Didn't they tell ND he didn't have gall bladder problems before finally finding something?
Nope, they told him he didn’t have a post-gall bladder surgery stone caught in a bile duct that caused his acute pancreatitis, and it nearly killed him before they finally did the exploratory surgery that found and removed it. Very rare and unusual, so nothing to worry about. Man, that was almost a year ago. Very glad to put it in the past. But yes, an ultrasound is what will tell them if you have gallstones, generally. ND’s initial scan did show a whole bunch of stones that he managed with a very low fat diet for four months before the surgery and subsequent hospital clusterfuck. Definitely get the ultrasound, ita, and have them check your amylase and lipase levels to rule out pancreatitis, too. I wish you swift pain relief and better health.
Guess what? I’m posting from Barcelona! I have fallen in love with this city. It’s almost 5 here, so I’m in my hotel room having a little siesta before going back out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I decided work before play today, which means I dicked around doing my freelance job until it was too late to go see Captain America. Oh well. I'm suprised it's only on two screens (one 3D) at my local theater.
I am also SO SAD that I apparently missed the glory days of movie theaters in my neighborhood. People keep asking me about them, but apparently the last one closed in 2005, so it's not like I just missed it, but still.
