Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Heh. Did you hear any of the gondeliers singing? It echoes very strangely of off the walls.

Did you look at the rare book store? When I was there in April, I was drooling over the window display of the first edition of Helen Keller's My Life autographed by her. I wanted that soooo much, but didn't have a spare $12,000 on me at the time.

I *love* pony play. LOVE.

Did I ever send you a link or have you seen Unmata's ode to pony play?

I don't think so. It doesn't sound familiar.

Yeah, I'm not sure what came over me. I'm usually so good about not reading them!

If you have not already, call your Congresscritter and ask for a "No" vote on the deal. Almost no chance of it not passing, but if it could be stopped (and Aimee gets a camel while we are at it) then Obama would face the choice of letting his banker buddies suffer along with the rest of us, or using some those options he hates so much cause they are not dignified: 14th amendment, platinum coins, treasury forgiving U.S. debt to it and so on. All but the first are also mild stimulus which in major recession with significant deflationary risk is a feature, not a bug.

I've already hit my Congresspersons up today. Blowin' in the wind.

Maybe if I start sending checks made out to Congressperson X for $500, with a huge VOID scrawled across it...

ION, anyone have a good smoothie recipe for a kid who like berries and might be mildly lactose-intolerant? (I say "might be" cause Mom said he is, but he's had cheese, alfredo sauce and ice cream here, in limited amounts, with no problems.)
