  1. @akooman Twitter said there were a bunch of people that I wasn't following that I'm pretty sure I already was!
  2. @akooman And yet you've shown up in my feed for ages, so how could I *not* have been following you?
  3. #SHNtour rehearsals start Mon! So exciting; so much to do! Good prep day; forcing myself to stop (but I think I'd rather still be working).
  4. @adinarj Ha! There's often something that escapes my notice.
  5. @adinarj I have a cold, so my workout was short and short of breath. But at least I made it. Now I'm treating my sinuses to the sauna.
  6. Slow rural internet defeats the purpose of Skype meetings--still need go to a meeting location. Subpar tools make it hard to work from home.
  7. "The Uprising" boys playing with sticks. twitter.com/alidaruth/stat…
  8. "I didn't make that phone call; there were too many fish in the irons today." - Mom
  9. @Jenepel Maybe it's because I read a lot of Laura Ingalls Wilder as a kid, but I've always known what it was. See also: picnic tablecloths.
  10. @teapot37 I'm reading "One of Our Thursdays is Missing." Hadn't realized until yesterday that there's a new Thursday Next out. Made my day.
  11. It's kind of strange to be driving to Banff in the dark. Can't see the mountains appearing in front of us!
