I had the most fantastic morning, and it even involved a Buffista! I drove out to where Burrell's sister lives, and picked her up, then went out to a really good breakfast place at the airport out there, and had a really good conversation. Then on the way back, we stopped at a beach where people were surfing to see if I could get a photo for the scavenger hunt, and we just totally lucked into the nicest people ever, who thought the whole thing was a hoot. Best of all, they were there to take pictures of Dad surfing with this incredibly fancy lens they had rented, so they took better pictures than I could have, and his wife already emailed them to me.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

I found a vintage choir robe at the thrift store for Mr. Flowersocks to wear to the Yule Ball. Uh, and I think we're dating now.

Mr. Flowersocks is possibly my favorite nickname ever. And yay for dating and appropriate Yule Ball wear.
I'm watching Cowboys and Aliens, cooking some mac and cheese and getting ready to take my first load over to my new place.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Holli, how wonderful! I looked at the pics of your outfit, and it's delightful. You have to post pics of the two of you when you go.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yay Mr. Flowersocks!
Well, and there's physiological stuff too for sure. Not to cross the human line, but horses like Seabiscuit ended up having larger than normal organs that did stuff like increased his lung capacity and blood supply but cost him in terms of lifespan. When it comes to athletics or physical arts like dance, that stuff plays in. Is it talent that gives Alex Wong unnatural flexibility and extension? No, but something let's him take advantage of it.

Isn't Michael Phelps freakishly well suited for swimming?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I can finish my writing this weekend. I can. Talent or no. It will be done.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Right -- Phelps and Lance Armstrong have a freakishly large wingspan and heart, respectively.
I can say from three years of running I have no aptitude/physical skill for it!
