:) Still tied for first after winning 10-6. Looking at a photo of the warehouse today with an 8 flag hanging, I remembered that my roommate worked for the guy who made the 2131 flags/posters that hung from the warehouse. I remember going to the game where Cal sat down and Ryan Minor played 3rd, and it wasn't until the ground-out to third by Jeter at the top of the 1st inning when everyone realized that wasn't Cal at the corner and the visitor's bench cleared and everyone gave him a round of applause and he had to come out and take a bow before the game could restart. (Holy run on sentences, Batman!) (Oh, gods, we ARE old

I remember you calling me (the next day, I think? or late that night?) and telling me about that game

How old is Dante? If Sandy were taller/bigger, I wouldn't think 12.5 lbs was fat, but she's a bowling ball

Given the inevitable delays, I don't understand why the USTA insists on the SF/F schedule they have. When was the last time the men's final was actually held on schedule? The women's is already post-poned. The USTA: winning on all fronts.

We have had Dante since Dec 2004, and the vet at the shelter estimated that he was at least three years old then, so he is not a spring chicken. The vet said his heart and lungs and skin/coat look good, but hasn't called with anything about the blood tests yet. Sandy is ridiculous. You'd think that with her binge-purge habits she would be much skinnier.

You know what I just realized, when I was checking the Canes and Habs schedules to figure if the thing I was thinking of would fit in the world I'm working out in my head or if it would be an AU of an AU (LOL, my brain)?

If there is a regular season, they will play each other in Raleigh ON NEW YEAR'S EVE, before they each have a couple of days off. I think this calls for epic porn celebrations.

Jess takes a sip of her gin and tonic, and she's savoring the bite of lime when a voice murmurs in her ear, "What's a woman like you doing alone in a place like this

I'm from the Roanoke Valley, which is NOT the same as Roanoke Island and the Lost Colony (which we incidentally visited last week while we were in OBX), or from the heart of the Blue Ridge or from the mountains of southwestern Virginia, depending on who is asking and how I feel about answering, lol.

Is Sandy stealing Dante's portion of the food?

And let's talk about ridiculous google reader feeds - I haven't touched mine since before we left for the beach...

Sandy eats a lot of food fast, and then vomits it up. I don't actually understand how she's as overweight as she *is*, given the amount of food we give them. She mostly doesn't eat his food - if he's hungry and she's being a pig, he'll swat at her, and she retreats. The vet thinks it might just be that they eat dry food, and she doesn't handle the carbohydrates well, so he wants us to switch to wet food. Which we've tried, but neither of the cats ate it. That was back when Dante didn't like people-food, though, and he's taken an interest in licking any plates that are left within pouncing height recently.

Ugh, that might just be a "mark all as read" situation.

That's weird. Our pups are from the same litter and they're full grown now, but Duchess is super lean and weighs about ten pounds less than Duke, but they eat the same. Idk.
