and - even though when I played the Indigo Girls in Susan's car this weekend she sort of groaned and said, "I really can't listen to this. We play them all the time" -

Darkness has a hunger that's insatiable, and lightness has a call that's hard to hear.

I can't help it. They don't get old for me.

Just back from spending the afternoon at the pool with Susan, Amanda, and their friend Carrie. It was fun; when we got there, it was just us and then a little girl and her mother. We swam (even though it was cold) and Amanda and Carrie and I played what we loosely called volleyball, and Susan floated on their blow-up float from Target. After ( Read more... )

Susan came and picked me up this afternoon and we drove to the Milner-Cliffords' house, just to see if they were there. The door was open so we walked in, and Cary and Errol were sitting on the couch, so we joined them.

We saw Katz do this particular one at Little Five Points this weekend. And it's on the CD that Susan got ( Read more... )

Okay, two favorite continuity/coincidence/whatever you want to call it moments:

First, that I got Things Fall Apart at the library and then, while we were walking around outside the Martin Luther King, Jr. Visitor's Center, Susan noticed that one of the kids at the KIPP School was holding a copy of it. Later on, walking around before the Eddie's ( Read more... )

You know a vacation to me is, like, laying on the beach for 20 hours of the day and drinking frozen drinks and maybe riding bikes and maybe playing Putt-Putt. So I might forget some things and have to add them later, because this trip we did TONS of stuff. And I'm just not used to trips like that ( Read more... )
