Learning how to fall in any activity is important. I've been told I fall exceptionally well while cross country skiing... :)

I can't count how many times I've fallen while biking.

What does crack me up is when I go to the doctor - I think once you hit 50 they start askin' "have you fallen lately?"
what????

gosh naked, we're all so freakin' territorial...LOL.

Dang tree, that's awesome, about Laurel's public school. Nearly every single public school in WNC no longer does fieldtrips, in fact I don't know of a single one. Fear of some duma$$ parent suing over some duma$$ thing that happens. Mine go to a small charter school, which takes field trips out the yang! Even backpacking and canoeing. Tree we'll hafta do a playdate sometime, my Silas is a ruddy 4th grader.

Yep Ape, Joe named his daughter Liberty. We call her Libby. She was carried and born while he was in Iraq so he wanted her name to be "special". It could be worse no? ;)

Morning everyone! Yay November 1st! Boo for the first cold of the season! My throat and nasal cavity are on fire, drainage won't stop, sneezing and coughing full swing. A lot of the parents wandering around with their trick-or-treaters sound the same, too.

Morning!

I'm hoping this cold is already on the decline. I felt like death warmed over yesterday, pretty good today. The whole house rumbling again, thanks to continued construction down below the house (stupid sewer line run through a flood plain/ protected wilderness area) and road resurfacing further up the hill, so to speak. For once I'm glad there's multiple road accesses around here.

Sassafras - I think about you every day! I'm still using the coffee cup that you gave to me up in Ohio. I use it every day. Actually, it was better, when you presented it to me with hot coffee in it.

I still think of Joe once in a while, too. The name, which he gave your daughter, is really a good one. He is a nut, though. Going overseas to fight and leaving a beautiful family at home! Of course many people think that we're all nuts, too, for going backpacking. Well, we can't win them all.

I moved out of the corner office today and joined the masses in cubeville...

A few months ago, 2 of us moved out of our office and into an office with our boss. Nice guy, but unhappily single, and since he lives alone all of his interaction with people is at work. Therefore, HE TALKS ALL DAY LONG. I've tried giving him things to do, but then I get a million questions and hours of speculative comments. He worries so much about getting fired that he probably will get fired.

It's been driving me buggy, and I've made noises to the big boss that I wanted to move out...having four big projects with fast approaching deadlines, I had enough today - picked a cube and moved in. So far so good - I don't have to listen to anyone around me, but I do hear some interesting tid bits. It's very tiny, but so far I really like it. :)
