Twice within 24hours I have been described in ghostlike terms I'm getting quite worried I'm disappearing into twilight.
I need to go and look in the mirror and check.
For anyone out there who doubts it, I am alive and kicking and very real. I ain't no phantom!   >:D

I went to the all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast yesterday, with the syrup harvested from the woods right behind them. The syrup tasted a bit like sugary cereal to me - not sure why that was. It had almost a graham cracker taste to it. Really, though, I was not there to eat, just support the environmental center that teaches so many kids about nature and conservation. My younger son would ditch us in an instant if they offered him a room there and a spot on staff. (He knows way too much about animals, and what he doesn't know, he will gladly fabricate.)

Skating after that. Liot is aggravating me. He gets bored and will lie down on the ice and refuse to get up. This is his second time taking this course and I refuse to pay for a third. He is much more competent on skates, he just does not like the little exercises that they want them to do. I was told the other day that my older son will likely be able to jump ahead two levels. The teacher told me that he is keeping up very well and that if she can save us a little money, she would be happy to do it. After that, just hosting the kids all afternoon, and then some UNO with my younger son who felt left out when he was not invited to spend the night with the other boys. I told him (and this is true) that I was desperate for some Liot time as we almost never get to spend time with just him. It turns out he is a really good sport! He does not get at all upset when he loses at cards. I am stunned by this, truly I am.

All this betting (and winning!) on sports, sugarlump - what's the secret?  I suppose actually watching them might help, though....

A friend of mine sent me a text today, all full of exclamation points, about Virginia beating someone else.  Uh-huh.  I sent back a message requesting a translation for the sports impaired.  What sport was she watching?  She texted back, "It's March, idiot!"

Oh, yeah.  March Madness, US college basketball. 

I don't know why she's surprised, when I never know when the Superbowl is on or who is playing, either.   ;D

Hi jb unfortunately my amazing tipping services are already taken by a very special person who shan't be named  :secret;
You need to study the form and statistics and also need a little bit of the Midas touch! Watching is good but not necessary!!!! A little bit of recklessness helps x

Jbeany,
 I, too, am sports impaired. Someone asked me which team I was rooting for in the Superbowl and I responded that I didn't even know who was playing!  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I participated in a lively discussion with friends today about civil communication.

It was a bit over 2 years ago that the shooter entered a UU church here and gunned down several people, injuring a dear friend, taking out the eye of another friend's father and killing two people, including someone I knew socially. Civil discourse is still a hot topic around here.

AND I had a glass of peach flavored bubbly! Ooooh! I feel so wicked.

My 3 adult tortoises are awake from their 6 month hibernation. They came out about 10 days ago, but it's been raining a lot so they have scarcely eaten. Hopefully it's going to be sunny now. The baby tortoise Rocky (he's 3 years old now) hibernated in a dark space in the house as opposed to the adult shelter in the yard. He looks great, eating like crazy today, ready for spring.
