As always, your posts are joy to read...Hiya Lloyd!<br /><br />As always, your posts are joy to read and behold! Who doesnt love Hawaii?<br />I stopped working at home about 2 years ago because I was slowly going a little insane. I started building this collection of inanimate objects to talk to as I had no reason to leave the house and my tiny little excursions to errands and the coffee shops just weren't cutting it any more. <br />The mailman's schedule became the talk of the day when my gf would come home at night from her 'proper' job.....<br /><br />Come down to Portland and I will totally buy you an alcohol-laced coffee. Or just coffee. <br /><br />PS>I read Scott Savitt's closing comments as "positive nipples beyond your visible horizon". Oh Lawrdy.

Our boy has that exuberant overconfidence. His swimming never fails to get all lifeguards on site jumping out of their seats in alarm since it basically looks like drowning.<br /><br />Just started reading Goon Squad and at first kept wondering what the big deal was. By the end of chap. 4 I was in love with it, choking back sobs on a crowded plane flight.<br /><br />Love the blog. A balm for grieving Troubletown fans.Eliz.
