I'm still reeling from the roasted pig.

Belly full.

Contentment.

Bliss.

I just checked on Matthew, who is doing subtraction with borrowing from the 100 value on his white board easle and he was just standing in there having some conversation with himself! LOL I stood there for a while (not listening, he was speaking too softly and I'm too deaf) but then he turned around and saw me and burst out laughing!

I told him not to be embarrassed...sometimes the smartest person there is to talk to is yourself!

'In one thing you have not changed, dear friend,' said Aragorn: 'you still speak in riddles.'
'What? In riddles?' said Gandalf. 'No! For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to;

That moment has come, alas I must go! I have to tie up the loose ends here at work and get homeward bound in 15 minutes.

My computer at home is troublesome, so I'll more than likely see you all on Monday. :(

Have a great weekend and be careful out there!

I left some tea and honeycakes on the table in case anyone wants a little snack later.

LOL! I didn't realize how much I talked to myself until a coworker brought it up when I worked in cubicle land! And now I giggle so much when I am in the Hobbit Hole that my coworkers would surely think I was nuts! Thankfully they can't hear me now.

LOL...The Mrs. says that not only do I talk in my sleep, but I often answer myself and giggle as well. Once, she said, I told myself a joke...and then laughed hysterically...all the while fast alseep. She was so wierded out by it, she never fell back asleep that night...and never lets me forget it! LOL

My husband elbowed me awake one night and was trying to hand me something and told me "Here, hold this football..."

A used-bookstore owner and collector of stuff discovers a book never published in his reality, and it leads him to a device that bounces him between parallel worlds until he's totally lost. Along the way he has to contend with assasins mistakenly trying to kill him, as well as the realization that what is rare and valuable in one reality may be not be rare and valuable in another reality...

Cool! That has a bit in common with my potential plot - although my focus is going to be on the fact that people in absurb or horrible or fantastic situations all more in common than you'd think. Possibly working in a character who we meet in every world, in her different lives.

Maybe if we end up doing these we could plan a, oh, three-page "run-in" between our characters!

Yes, but they're so fun! I've been interested in AUs for years. I mean, what if there's a world where I'm a famous astronomer? Or a princess? Or a liberal... nah, that's just too impossible, even with quanta.

I now get a TRY AOL FREE disk in my snail mail at least once a week.

I'm making Christmas decorations from them...

Fox is reporting it as a false alarm...

Thanks. I'd heard that.

But people are still on the edge. All the high schools in Richmond and the two surrounding counties have cancelled games for the night and the Farm Bureau cancelled tomorrow evening's Harvest Parade. It's been raining pretty solid since yesterday, so that's part of it.

But I wonder if they're not just being paranoid.

If this weren't so serious I'd make a joke about it. But this is sickening. I hope the shooter is discovered and, uh, "resists arrest"...

Well, I got the AOL thing cancelled but I had to raise my voice.

Make sure you get a cancellation in writing.

And call your bank or credit card company and tell them that the charge is no longer authorized.

Then you need to clean out all of their files from your system.
