    SadieKate: It's bright red, so I'm hoping the holly bushes think it's some kind of oddly-shaped relative they need to be kind to. I have named her Darth. I don't doubt you will understand why.

    Mine:
    Take care of pressing work-related stuff and errands on Monday while you've got the chance (Noooo, not responsibility!); Tuesday and Wednesday are chock-full, and you'll want a little extra time to think about or handle romantic matters.(Or be at work, and sit there, thinking about all the things I'drather be doing at home...) While life and love could be a little overwhelming now, at least it's interesting! Towards the end of the week, you're asking the right questions when it comes to love, whether you're seeking answers from a certain someone or your own heart.(um.... That gets me in trouble...) And this weekend, exploring all the possibilities is not only fruitful, it's great fun - and (bonus!) luck's on your side. (what's that whistling? Is that the cute guy from work, or a bomb flying through the atmosphere in my direction?)

    Uhm... yeah. Um... *sigh*

    Queen, good to know about the job. Just curious as to whether it was a good thing to be back in it.

    Thanks for the update on Fish. Isn't the FishFry back in a new school? How quickly I forget when faced with the prospect of a lovely steelhead.

    Dirtdiva, Darth because both are giants? Here I go being obtuse again.

    I'm off for some chocolate surveying. Three kinds here - California, Oregon and Vermont - which are demanding a tasting with some lovely Portuguese Port brought home from the trip to Oregon. Tomorrow, Oregonzola from the Rogue Creamery, perhaps paired with some crisp pears.

    Yellow is visiting from Yewtah. She and Bubba are working on solving the world's problems. Expect world peace soon. I better get the port out to them to keep the solutions flowing.

    Ah, what a lovely morning...
    I dunno what it is, but I'm having freakyweird dreams lately. Nothing quite like lucid dreams about things *actually happening* in the world, to make you want to *wake up and choke people*. And...
    ...
    I was going to go for a run, but remembered this just after having breakfast.
    One of those days.
    Saturday the 14th. *dramatic music*

    Yeah. I was kinda thinking Sidious, rather than Lord Vader. I suppose Darth Maul had a bit of a red thing going on, but he got cut in half.

    CWR, you just have to keep having another chocolate till you find the right one!

    DirtDiva "Darth Maul had a bit of a red thing going on, but he got cut in half. "

    well yeah he did but didn't Darth Vader get thrown off a cliff?

    Welll... Vader got tossed into the lava because he ignored the fact that the difference in elevations gave Kenobi a +2 dex and +2 str advantage (well... according to the DM...)
    And then later... welll. it just got worse.

    But assuming that this bike is "more metal than man" and nice metal to boot, I'm willing to call it "all good"

    oh, god, I'm SUCH a NERD!!!!

    This sounds sinfully delightful. Some people do have all the fun.

    Have a splendid visit with Yellow and Bubba. I do not think there are any TE members near me and definitely no TD'ers.
    I am looking forward to world peace.
