    is it soggy where you are?

      Extremely so, as evidenced by Andi’s enchanted rain forest photos appearing regularly in the cafe/lounge (we’re practically neighbors).

      Nope – got the Depends and the bottoms here are all dry..

    Okay I lied about the bright.

    Just a quick “have a good day” to everyone before I head to the airport. Ta.

    Oh … and yes, it’s soggy here.

        You’re very welcome. And thank you for letting me know that you enjoy them — I love the sharing how lucky I am to live with such beauty literally right outside my door.

        Thanks ID. Fortunately, this trip is to the home office so it’s mostly one-on-one and hallway discussions so I’m relatively BCROD free.

      It’s the spring of the eternal sog here this year…I don’t think I can take much more rain.

      How’s the home office visit going?

      • AndiF
        AndiF on May 20, 2008 at 6:55 am

        Just fine; today though I’m much more awake than yesterday so I might actually notice what is going on around me. 🙂

        And speaking of noticing … I guess I should notice the time and get going.

        Ta.

    Good morning, Andi and CG!
    Ugh. I’m still sore all over from this weekend’s move.

    • boran2
      boran2 on May 20, 2008 at 9:22 am

      Good morning ask.  Did you move far?

      • ask
        ask on May 20, 2008 at 10:53 am

        Hi b2!
        The movees were actually my ex and the asklets, and they are moving close 🙂
        Less than 10 min. walk away and no longer both Hudson and East Rivers between us.

        • CabinGirl
          CabinGirl on May 20, 2008 at 11:55 am

          That will be so convenient – worth the sore muscles, I’m sure.  🙂

          • ask
            ask on May 20, 2008 at 12:10 pm

            Sure is!
            Heading over there now to move some furniture around.

      The repair man, who was rude on the phone, has been called.  Double ugh…

        I was originally going to make because people who are fighting losing battles with plumbing deserve sympathy and lots and lots of very absorbent towels.

        Sorry Manny. Have a towel.

        • Man Eegee
          Man Eegee on May 21, 2008 at 11:55 am

          the towel is useful as all of my inventory is currently being washed (again) after the adventure from last night.  Everything seems to be fixed now, and the maintenance guy apologized for being nasty on the phone the second he arrived at my place, so all is well.

          I iz not a plumber

        Ouch! Hope you were able to even the score during the night.

      Good morning, Andi!
      Hurray for HD and returning home.
      Is the rain over?

      • AndiF
        AndiF on May 21, 2008 at 6:32 am

        The rain seems to have cleared out at home. The forecast for the rest of the week is pretty good — there’s even the promise of the first rain-free weekend in weeks.

    • CabinGirl
      CabinGirl on May 21, 2008 at 6:27 am

      Woo-hoo! Yay for going home.  I hope you have a mellow flight home.

      Is it raining where you are?  It’s still raining here.  I’m about to give up on it ever drying out.

      • AndiF
        AndiF on May 21, 2008 at 6:30 am

        No rain here, just kind of chilly. There is some forecast for tonight but I’ll be out of here (I hope) by then.

        • CabinGirl
          CabinGirl on May 21, 2008 at 7:24 am

          It’s been chilly here too.  And now I see a little bit of blue sky peeking out, so maybe we’ll get a break from the rain today.

          At least everything is growing nicely.  I think our farm share starts this week…my grocery budget is looking forward to that.  🙂

          • ask

            It’s clearing up here as well, a hint of sun now.

            We’ve had a beautiful spring so far…largely sunny and not too hot yet, and enough rain to almost wipe out the drought.  We had a great big windy, thundery storm yesterday, which is my favorite kind of weather 🙂 and it’s crystal clear and sunny right now.  Probably heading to the beach this weekend…

          • boran2
            boran2 on May 21, 2008 at 9:08 am

            Sunny now but rain will come later.  🙁

    It seems like I just went to bed … oh yeah, that’s right, I did.

    Howdy all.

      Sorry to hear that!
      Late flight home?

      • AndiF
        AndiF on May 22, 2008 at 6:32 am

        Ah well, at least I’m home. I should try to remember what I feel like the next day every time I decide to take a late flight.

        • ask
          ask on May 22, 2008 at 6:47 am

          Ah well, at least I’m home.
          And you get a walk in the forest with the pack this morning.

          • AndiF
            AndiF on May 22, 2008 at 6:56 am

            Yep and that’s exactly what I’m just about to do.

            Hope you have a fine day today.

            Ta.

    More rain today.  Ugh.  If April showers bring May flowers, what do May showers bring?

    • Second Nature
      Second Nature on May 22, 2008 at 9:08 am

      Mosquitoes.
