heidiThere was a localized outage yesterday for my cable modem and when it went back on for everyone else, it stayed off for me. So no internet via desktop for me until Monday afternoon which means:
Sam, please send chapter in text form
Nifflers, please be patient with us
HPWiki project, I'm unable to wiki til tuesday
People I owe comments to, it'll likely be Tuesday
At least the sidekick is working.
Yesterday we had a swim birthday party for Harry, complete with diving for pirate treasure, a pirate cake and Jon jumping into the pool without water wings, which resulted in Aaron jumping into the pool, fully clothed, to rescue him. Jon can swim well with his wings, and moderately when he goes in via the steps but if he jups far from the wall he has nothing to grab to. So aaron rescued him, but it was terrifying-after-the-fact. Bubble suit is now mandatory at the pool, period.
The pool was the perfect end-of-summer activity. And yes, I do mean end of summer. Is it only schools in Florida that open this week? Even the Gap's back to school sales down start until Monday and our local Targets were still putting the supply displays out this past Wednesday. Dave Barry wrote a wonderful piece for the Herald (herald.com) last week, which I can't link to because of the desktop issue, but which is worth searching out, because he explains our feelings about school starting on August 8, to paraphrase, "WTF"?
So we're all set with school supplies, uniforms, heely sneakers for walking and rolling, and lunchables. And it's bloody august.
Hey, at least they can wear shorts.
