Sorry to hear that Mike, on both! maybe a doctor for one, and doctor Ruth for the other!

Late in the evening, my ex chose to give him ibuprofen... which is pretty unusual for her. (The 4 year old has never been given ibuprofen.)

Well, mixed messages are better than no romance at all, I suppose.

I wasn't (and still amn't) into surfing. Growing up, HMB was a place you got car sick going to (and coming from) to get pumpkins every october. If you were lucky you got to puke near La Honda on the way to (and from) building sand structures on a cold, foggy summer day at San Gregorio.

Dan,

Mr. C.'s mom, my ex, IS a doctor.

It makes me carsick, too.

on a different note, dan, i got a bug up my behind yesterday afternoon and hit Cabelas. Tough to find, despite being a glowing behemoth from the highway. They must have hired a european civil engineer because there are traffic circles every dozen yards!

that's right, I forgot!

and whatcha get?!! lots of deals going on?

mtrspeed,

It's an interesting coincidence that you used to live around where I am, and I used to live around where you are.

i felt like ralphie talking to santa. i think i froze from sensory overload and didn't get much. main thing was a pair of waders for my daughter so she can join in a few more fishing drifts this spring and summer. i'll have to go back now that i know the size and scope of the place!

By the way, what I am referring to:

I've lived briefly in Little Rock, Lacey, Tumwater, Olympia, Seattle, and Bothell.

Kiddie waders... cool.
