yendiWoke up late. Like after-sevenish late. And then, only because Elayna, who'd also missed her alarm, woke us ("Adam, it's 7:10, and I was supposed to be at school."). We somehow managed to all get dressed, get lunch packed for Miss Kid (quickest turkey sandwich ever), and get out the door by 7:15, getting her to school in time for her to eat her traditional breakfast (bag o' Honey Nut Cheerios, but she likes eating with the other kids), and us to work in time. Had to make a stop at Caribou, of course.
I love today's Sinfest, which captures the "spirit" of the day perfectly. Today's Kevin and Kell, on the other hand, is just icky.

forioscribe, one of the few LJ writers whose own posts are almost always guaranteed to move and fascinate me, takes a break with today's post to transcribe a poem by a man who truly spoke wonders when it came to the subject of the heart -- Kipling.
Anyway, I just wanted to spend a moment to say a couple of words to all of you. FIrst, I've got a lot of people on my friends list. And regardless of the semantics of the LJ term "friend," I do consider all of you to be interesting and articulate people. And I enjoy reading all of you. Likewise, I care about all of you. And I really wish I had the time to respond to everything you say, offer a hug every time things suck, offer advice every time a request is made, offer support, offer kind words, etc. I try. But if I don't, it's not because I didn't see your post, and not because I don't care. It's usually because someone else has already gotten the words out, or I'm overwhelmed by work, or whatever. But I enjoy reading all of your posts, and I wanted to thank each and every one of you for being there, and for your daily writings.
