I think that's proof that you make the world a better place just by your presence, sarameg

Aw, that's sweet. But it's their presence making the world better, reaching out to just be kind. They're my examples to follow.

There's only one person in my Facebook environment who supports Trump. But then, my Facebook friends are 99% Buffistas or Australians. (This guy's Australian, son of family friends, but grew up in Switzerland, and appears to have picked up some disappointing attitudes about immigration.)

There's another guy with whom I used to play D&D in Philly who keeps posting about gun rights. He's the only one I ever need to make an effort to ignore.

There's a boy at school with a crush on Franny who is a Trump supporter. Frances on the other hand is Hillary's gal all the way.

It's beginning to be spring in the West, which means--tumbleweeds! I took a tumbleweed to the driver's side of my car as I was driving along, which I managed to see out of the corner of my eye, so I wasn't completely taken by surprise. Fortunately there's not much to them, but the herds--flocks?--of them that are going to crowd the roads later can be a pain to get past/through.

Watching Austin City Limits with my brother and eating Thai food. His wife gets back tomorrow and I go home. I'm glad I came out here, but I can't wait to get home.

After the cleaning spree I treated myself to cheap-but-good sushi and am now watching a countdown of the NHL's greatest defensemen. (Spoiler alert: Bobby Orr will be #1. )

Hooray for wheelbarrows, flushed water heaters and 5ks! Did a 5k today myself, at the Rosie the Riveter Memorial. Nice route, beautiful day, now I am wiped out. I didn't get anything else done in a productivity sense, just lunch with my dad, some shopping that I didn't need to do but which was fun, and some hang time with mom (she has the same bug I had beginning of last week, I think, so she didn't go to the race). And now I'm watching TV. Tomorrow is another day.

I did ask my dad if he's going to vote in the Republican primary, he said maybe he'll write in Barry Goldwater. He's a lifelong registered Republican but ideologically he's probably more Green than anything else.

How insane should I be making myself about the fact that ltc keeps trying to sleep on her stomach? She's 6 months old.

If she is rolling herself into that position, I wouldn't worry.

Big picture, now that she can roll back to tummy, you would basically have to stay up all night to flip her back each time she rolled. Neither of you will get any sleep.
