grandma

Dad’s on his way down to Seattle to see my grandmother, who has had a cold for the last week and who has developed a bit of a rattle in her chest. If people wanted to sort of send good thoughts her way, that’d be nice.

peace

My Mom’s got this very cool oval-shaped peace pendant necklace. I coveted it when I was a teenager. Actually, I still covet it. Apparently my sister also coveted it. Mom’s been wearing it lately, and is therefore smug that she didn’t give it to either of us.

Yay Heather! Hee…

A 9 mile bike ride left me with numb fingers and a sore spot under my right shoulderblade and a sort of distressingly thick spot in my lower back (it doesn’t hurt, it just feels … thick) and I’ve decided I’m not going to spend a whole summer biking like that. I don’t know if I’ll ultimately rebuild the…
