Today has been spent doing scheduled maintenance to The Life - dentist appointment, automotive service, yard work if weather permits.

Also, Skitzy, the second-generation stray cat on our porch, seems to have given birth over the weekend, so we're going to be keeping an eye out for third-gen meowlets.

In an entertaining footnote (as opposed to the actual entertaining footnotes below), I haven't worn pants since Thursday. I feel like

xany_hellion. ;-)

1- Except for the achingly stereotypical lifestyle dorks who are the physical embodiment of all the unflattering stereotypes of geeks, nerds, et al.
2 - Short on elevators, and not good at all for anyone with a fear of heights, and spendy when it came to food. Marvelous beds & pillows, beautiful facility, great staff.
3 - Save for the apparently unavoidable "pointless I-75 slowdown between Gainesville and Ocala" factor.
4 - Also saw far, far more of some entirely different people than my eyes are happy with. See Also: footnote [1], in their "finery."
5 - I may speak to these at greater length individually later, but in summary, the two primary WoW sessions were excellent and well-run; the SF "technobabble" was poor, and the WoW meet was abysmal.
6 - Upon returning to GMBAN, I had $5.37 in my pocket, because

critus paid for lunch, and we didn't stop and buy snacks on the way home.
