Off to take an aging parent to a Dr. appointment. Its amazing that he can still ride a horse.

Maybe it's because I have too much time on my hands but this statement sent me off musing about Uz's aging parent in a riding habit and fancy dressage riding and an unfortunate balking at one of the gates...hope everything is okay!

I finished work, didn't feel like cooking even a half-assed supper. (Wife at yoga, but I cook dinner most nights.) Made myself a manhattan and now I am on The Mote and cooking jazzed clam chowder to boot. I am parking here for a while, no doubt about it. Not just for tonight, but for a whiiiiiiiiiiiiiile. I was wondering about what I was going to talk about and it popped into my head, something that has been galling me for a year. I am going to write a letter to my insurance company, STATE FARM, concerning an auto accident in which I was assigned 100% of the blame. But first a relation of events on the Mote, and my account, not only of the accident, but of other events and familial relationships and then on to State Farm and then on to competing insurance companies, that is, unless State Farm sees things my way. I shall not bore you with details, but shall ask you after every brief paragraph, 'Is this not a daggar (or, more properly,an arrow) pointed at State Farm's heart?"

Btw, Judith, you have the image all wrong; I lead him by the bridle these days.

I just love you, dear Uzmakk.

We have a new computer after the old one died...I mean, really died. Hard drive fried and no backup, nothing saved. So anyone who has my email address, please write to me so I can get your email!

Actually, this will save me money...lost all my regular shopping sites and can't even recall half of them.

26159. vonKreedon - 9/28/2010 7:08:20 PM

Haha....the sites are completely replacable via Google, but the lost log-in information is the barrier for me in such situation.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn but I'd like to congratulate the most recent grandmother in our little group...congratulations, Magoseph!

Imagine my surprise when I learned of this: I'm the same age as Magoseph yet I'm a great-grandmother!!

26161. magoseph - 10/20/2010 8:14:54 AM

I'm the same age as Magoseph...

Hey, Missy, you know by now that I always lie about my age.

The baby girl is now home. Although my daughter-in-law had a C-section, she is breastfeeding her successfully, attended by her Mom and her deliriously happy husband.

26162. vonKreedon - 10/20/2010 5:02:02 PM

Congrats to the Magoseph family!

26163. arkymalarky - 10/20/2010 6:07:02 PM

Great news! Congratulations!

26164. Ms. No - 10/21/2010 4:14:22 AM

Congratulations! How wonderful!!

26165. judithathome - 10/26/2010 5:06:15 PM

Mags, that's right...you're KEONI'S age...I keep forgetting! ;-)

I'm surrounded by those younger than I!

My kids just found and destroyed my Slate umbrella and it made me think of this place. Nice to see that it still exists albeit quietly.

Site works great on iPad, BTW

26167. vonKreedon - 10/27/2010 4:25:01 PM

Hey Winston, nice to hear from you.

26168. arkymalarky - 10/27/2010 5:46:12 PM

Hey winston!

26169. winstonsmith - 10/29/2010 3:25:03 AM

Hi guys!

26170. Ms. No - 10/29/2010 7:09:25 AM

Good to see you!

26171. anomie - 10/29/2010 7:28:39 PM

Hey Ms No, I saw a Steely Dan tribute group last week called Pretzel Logic and thought about you. Not sure how many Steely Dan groups are out there, but I thought maybe you knew these folks. They were good, and the singer had a remarkable similar voice to the recordings.

26172. judithathome - 11/2/2010 7:20:53 PM

Anomie, please send me an email...my computer recently fried and I've lost all my email addresses.

26173. alistairConnor - 11/3/2010 12:02:56 AM

Site works great on iPad, BTW

Well we foresaw that, of course!
