    Is everyone recovering from the massive overload of sugar last night?

    • ask
      ask on November 1, 2007 at 6:42 am

      Good morning, CG!
      A slight headache from the residue.
      Another beautiful (though, unseasonal) morning.

        Good mornign CG and Ask.

        No a whole lot of sugar here.  Just getting over all the howling little and big ghost that went through the yard last night.  I thought they would never end.

        • ask
          ask on November 1, 2007 at 7:46 am

          Didn’t hear much howling last night, but I had an outdoor lunch in the beautiful weather and saw all the kids/dogs converge towards the start of this parade.

            Geeze ya’ll were at least organized.  More here it was kids running form house to house and parents trying to catch them.  We had out lights off and still had kis ringing the bells and adults banging on the door.  Some of these adults are more adamant about getting candy then the kids.  I just knock it off to there are so many college kids around here.  So we just keep the doors closed.

    Good morning all.  I had way too much sugar last night, the b2 boy also.  Much more toilet paper and shaving cream in the streets compared to the last few years.  But much needed rain is coming to wash it all away.

    Really. I guess my jet-lag (or plain log lack of sleep for the last few days) is showing because I slept till 5:30.

    • CabinGirl
      CabinGirl on November 2, 2007 at 6:58 am

      Good for you, sleeping in.  Too bad we move the clock backs tomorrow night.  I hate when the daylight is gone before five.

      I’m glad it’s Friday too.  Although I have some double-urgent projects for work due early next week that mean I’ll probably be putting in some time this weekend.

      • AndiF
        AndiF on November 2, 2007 at 7:35 am

        I like having more light in the mornings so I guess I find it a fair trade.

          CabinGirl on November 2, 2007 at 7:51 am

          I’m split between looking forward to the easier time CBtY will have getting up for the bus, and wanting to have some daytime left when CBtE gets home (at 5:30).  Oh well.

          Naps are good.

        Morning ask.

        I don’t normally have jet-lag problems but I’m feeling very Family Man today — a nap is looking like an absolute necessity.

        • Family Man
          Family Man on November 2, 2007 at 7:53 am

          Morning Andi, CG and ask.

          Andi I’m feeling very much like me today too.  I didn’t even need a jet for that. 🙂

          • AndiF
            AndiF on November 2, 2007 at 8:17 am

            I know — and your ability to nap is just one of your many admirable talents.

            One of my talents is running out to get sausage biscuits this morning.  Gotta go.

            Have a good day and take many naps.

      • CabinGirl
        CabinGirl on November 2, 2007 at 7:53 am

        Sounds like you’re feeling more relaxed.

        Any big plans this weekend?  Mine appears to be full of chauffeuring people to the movies and friends’ house, maybe a quick run down to the city today to drop off my laptop for a new hard drive.

        • ask
          ask on November 2, 2007 at 8:09 am

          There are some signs of positive development, though still early.

          Weekend; NY-marathon weekend coming up – also ask’s birthday. Should be busy enough. curly’s apt is just half a block from the route – we’ll be out cheering around 98th st.

          • CabinGirl
            CabinGirl on November 2, 2007 at 8:34 am

            Happy upcoming birthday!  

            Did you read about the banning of iPods from the marathon?  It would be interesting to see how many people follow the new rule…

          • boran2

      Just an old murder mystery by Nancy something or other.  ðŸ˜‰

        • AndiF
          AndiF on November 2, 2007 at 9:34 am

          I’ve got two good ones with a feminist bent:

          Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History By Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. Ulrich’s is such a fine writer and this new one is as good as The Midwife’s Tale. Here’s a review.

          Same Difference: How Gender Myths Are Hurting Our Relationships, Our Children, and Our Jobs
          by Rosalind Barnett and Caryl Rivers. Here’s a link to the Powell’s page on it.

    • ask
      ask on November 2, 2007 at 9:17 am

      Try these by Simon Sebag Montefiore:

      I read both “Potemkin” and “Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar” over the last year – interesting insights to the workings of the Russian/Soviet empires.  Just ordered “Young Stalin”, which was just published, from Powell’s.

      And this one:
      The Island at the Center of the World, which, incidentally, also explains the basis for the liberal US Constitution and the separation of state and church.

        I’m suddenly very ashamed of my choice of fluffy reading material. :/

        • ask
          ask on November 2, 2007 at 9:35 am

          You know what? The titles above are all ‘page turners’ and can replace most fluff.

        • AndiF
          AndiF on November 2, 2007 at 9:39 am

          Nah, don’t be. I think we need all kinds of reading material to keep our brains alive. Hey I’m reading a picture book right now (it’s Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis. I think you might like it).

        • CabinGirl
          CabinGirl on November 2, 2007 at 10:15 am

          Don’t be ashamed, I’m a fluffy reader too.  I just read Annie Lamott’s Grace Eventually, and the latest issue of Vanity Fair is next to my bed.

      Beautiful picture.  Pretty soon there won’t be any leafs.  We’re down into the low 40’s here this morning.

      Did you get your naps yesterday?

      • AndiF
        AndiF on November 3, 2007 at 7:01 am

        There are still leaves on the beeches and oaks which are always the last to go but everything else is almost bare.

        I did take a nap around 3 yesterday. I was so tired even sitting up was too much work.

        • Family Man
          Family Man on November 3, 2007 at 7:12 am

          I used to get jet lag very bad when I flew back to Europe.  I think that’s the only time I came close to sleeping while standing.  I saw on the news yesterday that naps are good for your heart, so nap away.

    Good morning, Andi and FM!
    Rain and windy this morning.  A new ‘personal best’; 8 hrs sleep last night!

    • Family Man
      Family Man on November 3, 2007 at 7:14 am

      Good morning ask and congrats on the 8 hours.  

      We’re not expecting any rain for at least another couple of weeks.  I’m afraid it’s another picture perfect day here. 🙂

    • AndiF
      AndiF on November 3, 2007 at 7:17 am

      I hope you have a great weekend planned to take advantage of all the sleep.

      • ask

        Will meet the kids later today. Tomorrow is NY Marathon, and since curly’s is close to the route, we’ll be out cheering at around 98th & Central Park (just under 3 miles before the finish); it’s also my birthday.
        What are you guys up to?

        • Family Man
          Family Man on November 3, 2007 at 7:31 am

          Happy pre B’day ask.  

          I never saw the sense in jogging or running.  Takes to much energy.  

          Today is the local university’s homecoming football game and Alabama and LSU play also.  So everybody around here will be at a football game or watching one on tv.

          At the moment I’m just trying to get some coffee down to wake up.  

          • Second Nature
            Second Nature on November 3, 2007 at 9:27 am

            I’ll be watching that Bama/LSU game too.  Someone I know is a big Tigers fan.  ACC basketball is huge around here, but football….not so much.  I guess because the local teams have stunk for a few years.

        • AndiF
          AndiF on November 3, 2007 at 7:54 am

    You know it’s going to be a bad day when the cat jumps on your bed and pees while you are asleep.  You know it’s it’s going to be bad when you wake up and see the cat is sitting at the edge of the bed staring at you, waiting for you to realize you’re sleeping in something wet!

    She is definitely on my shit list today, tomorrow and probably a few more after that!  Aaaarrrggggg!

    • ask

      • Family Man

        Yep that is a pretty rough way to wake up, but she’s an outside cat now.  At least for awhile.

        So what big plans do curly and the kids have for your B’day?  

        • ask
          ask on November 4, 2007 at 7:26 am

          Hi again, FM!
          I had trouble getting back on the site for a while.
          No big plans. We’ll be watching the Marathon, obviously – and will be out cheering them all on. curly’s is just under 3 miles from the finish and many need the little boost that thousands of cheering onlookers provide.
          It’s a cool and clear morning, and yesterday’s winds have subsided – should be perfect conditions for the run.

          • Family Man
            Family Man on November 4, 2007 at 7:35 am

            Yep I had the same trouble getting back on.

            It’s always nice to know that people found pleasant ways to stay warm on those cold, gloomy January/February days.

            Jim shares a birthday with one of our nephews, too — it does make it easy to remember but I suspect he’s not that fond of thinking about the 56 years age difference between ’em.

        That cat is going to need a warm place to sleep for the next couple of nights.  I’m sure not letting it back in for awhile.

        • Second Nature
          Second Nature on November 4, 2007 at 8:59 am

          I’m having a great weekend.  The weather is perfect and the boys are both home.  Today we finally have to get some yardwork done.  Since the rain we had last week the grass has come back to life and needs cutting.

          I had to make my 8 year old cat an outdoor cat a few months ago when she and the other cat suddenly developed an intense hatred of one another and engage in horrific cat fights if they’re both in the house at the same time.  Even now they snarl and hiss at each other through the windows.  One of the boys made her an insulated house to sleep in on the deck and she never strays out of the yard.  Every day there is a dead mouse or mole on the deck greeting me when I come out to feed her.

          • Family Man
            Family Man on November 4, 2007 at 9:03 am

            I’ve made a couple of insulated houses for Cat and Tom, but it seems they don’t like them.  Over the summer I let Cat stay inside during the day, but put her out at night.  It got down to 39 last night, and I thought I would be nice to her and let her stay in.  She convinced me last night that cats have fur for a reason, and she can now use hers to stay warm.

          • Second Nature
            Second Nature on November 4, 2007 at 9:13 am

            We put a cushy bed inside and some treats and she’ll do anything for treats.  Plus, it’s by the dryer vent so that’ll really warm it up when they dryer is in use.

            It’s impossible to get the smell of cat pee out of things.  It’s nothing like dog pee.

          • Family Man
            Family Man on November 4, 2007 at 9:17 am

            I’ve gone through 3 washing and heavy on the clorox.  Plus a health dose of Fabreze, so I’ll see how that goes.

            I tried doing the treats and food in the boxes, but they just wouldn’t go for it.  I figure they’ve already found somewhere they like, so I’ll just let them go with that.

          And on the subject of gardens, a few weekends ago I when to the Sustainable Homes Expo on Hobart.  The Hobart City Council had an exhibit call “name that weed” in which they had examples of 15 different weeds that you had to match against a checklist.  If you fill in the checklist you get two free native plants (tubestock size).  Additionally, one lucky person gets two trays full – and  I found out this morning that that’s me!  So I’ll be picking up about 60 little plants later this week.  They’ll stay with Imogen’s mum (along with Albert) till we get back from New Zealand.

            Well good for you!  Heck I can’t even id the plants outside my house.  I didn’t know ya’ll were going to NZ.  Is it for vacation or work?

            You know I’ve seen on the Travel channel here about NZ, but it has never shown anything about Tasmania.

            Imogen says “Tasmania is Top Secret”.

            We’re going to NZ for vacation!  From Nov. 17th to Dec. 3rd.  There were some really good airfares available about six months ago, so we decided ‘what the heck’ and bought the tickets.

            Maybe Andi can handle the Dog Blog during our absence.

            Oh, and I can’t identify everything in my Garden either (seeing as most of those plants came with the house), but I’ll get there eventually.

            As if you’d have to ask.

            I bought a battery powered portable hard drive, with a CompactFlash card slot, that will hold thousands of photos (tens of thousands actually – but I doubt I’ll take that many in one trip).  Last vacation I took my laptop to download photos, but this is much smaller and lighter.

            I put an alarm on my calendar for the 22nd to remind me to do the diary. Can’t wait to see the pics.

            We still like to take a laptop because that way we can look at the pictures.

            Good for both of you.  From what I’ve seen on TV it is really beautiful there.  

            Tell Imogen it can’t be top secret because we’ve got pictures from the “keres travel agency”.  Pretty soon you’ll be overrun with tourist. 🙂

            We’re still waiting for our first customer.  

            Unfortunately, the American dollar is tanking, so traveling overseas is getting lots more expensive for those of you in the US.  You could always travel steerage – to save some money and reduce your carbon foot print at the same time. 🙂

            Unfortunately the only way I could get there is by raft.  I’m afraid steerage would be too expensive.

            Raft it is, then.  How’re you for reeds?  Any growing around the pond.  Here’s a link to the Kon Tiki page at Wikipedia to get you started.

            Yep I’ve seen pictures of the Kon Tiki before.  I figure if I built something like that, I would end up arriving looking something like this.

          That was fun as usual – and the conditions were near perfect.
          We usually go out a bit before the elite runners come by to also see the incredible courage and strength of the racers in wheelchairs. After a while, tradition is to go inside for a break with curly’s famous chicken chili (it is usually a ‘chilly’ experience to watch). Then out again to watch the bigger crowd passing (lots of fun costumes on some of the runners).

    It sure is light out here this morning. I feel like CBtY is missing the bus or something…

      It might be light there, but it’s still dark here.  Just about the time you get used to the time change, they’ll change it again.  What can you do?

    • AndiF
      AndiF on November 5, 2007 at 6:33 am

      Is it really light there? It’ll be dark here until about 7:15.

      BTW, did you see my book recs above?

    One of these days, I’ll get one to face into the sun and show you his deep purple bib (which usually just looks black unless the light is on it just right).  As it is, I’m luck to get one to stand still long enough to focus the camera.  Talk about hip-hoppers!

            Hi ask.

            It’s cold and very windy (I love the sound of wind in the fall leaves) here so it would be a good day to snuggle up in bed but I find I can only stay there once I’m wide awake for a short time.

            It’s not necessarily about sleeping (the bed); I bring the laptop and slack away the morning.

            I’ve never liked computing in bed — I like to sit up straight. I suspect it has something to do with my eyesight.

            It’s 62 here at the moment and clear.  Tomorrow our low is supposed to be 30.  

            With a dreary day outside, I think you should stay in bed.  You deserve to slack today. 🙂
