Wave Without A Shore

Lynn came up with an idea. This is a good thing. We need to redevelop our working together and develop an ongoing feature on CC. You're going to get the benefit of it. We're going to do what all three of us know quite well: a shared universe for us. Here's how it came...

...have I weighed less. The diet we've been on since September (REAL South Beach, meaning you-cook-it) is wonderful. As Jane says, dessert every evening lets us go to a birthday party and resist cake, by telling ourselves, "we get dessert this evening, and if we have...

BabylonianMathC2 The Tigris-Euphrates region has no few 'interesting' developments: the use of tiles, of brick...it would remain for Mohenjo-Daro over on the Indus to do 'standardized brick,' [they were about 2500 BC]---which makes their remains look astonishingly...

I really worry when they come out of torpor. I'd like to see stable cold so they can sleep soundly...but they seem to be fine. I saw Ari, and Gerard, and Rukia and Amy quite clearly: the water's kind of murky since the pump's been off, but it's good quality. I do need...

...two of the nicest folk on planet Earth. Patty had a signing at Aunties (Spokane's largest indie bookstore, an institution in Spokane)---and we got together for Lennies' Thai, which set my diet back 2 weeks, but the evening was worth it. We had great food, a great...
