Tired-Out Kids I finally broke through the fatigue of 7 flights, round-the-clock goings-on, and a 16-hour time difference. When? At 1:08 this morning. Ping! I was finally awake, eyes wide open and mind in gear for the first time in days. I have slept most of the rest of the week. We got back from [...]
Foot thong in the PI These are my toes, in a "foot thong". We were all barefoot on the beach for the wedding, and this is what we wore. Shanti’s best friend made them for all of us. They’re really cool! No time to write an entry – we are all go-go-go! Just wanted to [...]

And no, I’m not adopting a baby (for some reason that is the first thing people think when they hear I’m going. Um, aren’t I on record saying that the vasectomy is the best medical procedure ever invented? Yeah, I know I didn’t actually go through it myself, but I gave birth twice so nyah [...]
