And the old yachties are dancing to Georgia on my Mind.
I don’t care - life is still good.
Sitting at a beach bar in Tortola, sipping (read: guzzling) happy hour Pain Killers, listening to some local bros playing music, killing time till we can pick up the boat tomorrow and head out to follow the wind for a week.
Life is good.

I just blew my nose, and yup, bran.

Adventures in skin care
I had just taken a bite of cereal that in retrospect was clearly overambitious, when I felt a sudden sneeze coming on. Desperate instinct kicking in, I raised my hand to my mouth to protect my laptop screen and keyboard from ejected bits of bran and blueberries.
Of course, the hand merely redirected everything back to my face, which was fucking disgusting, and I learned:
That’s fucking...

OH DEAR GOD I'M HAVING CHEST PAINS
And I only ate half what was in the bowl. Seriously? A woman my age has no business eating something like that.
Cripes - I can feel my arteries slamming shut.
A+++ Would bake again.
Brownie portion still less brownie and more batter, so back in the oven.
Dammit.
…
Although we did keep out one small bowlful for tasting.
I mean “quality control.”

It’s our Pilates instructor’s birthday, and this is what she requested for a cake.There will also be ice cream and cold milk.
Yes, alcohol has been ingested, although I’m pretty sure the cashier at Publix thought we were stoned when we bought the ingredients.
Nooooooooo. Like we would ever.

Lying on deck basking in the tropical night breeze… millions of stars overhead… quiet lapping of the waves against the hull… gentle rhythmic thwap of the halyard against the mast… the distant glow on the horizon pinpointing the nearest island… echoes of laughter from the day of fun… murmurs and sighs as everyone settles in for the night…
In three weeks.

Uh huh. Absolutely.
After all these years...
The dog has apparently been rolling in something nasty, as evidenced by the stickiness my hand encounters when I reach down to pet her.
“What does this smell like to you?” I stick my hand in front of his Skyrim-engrossed face.
And bless his heart, he actually sniffs it.
It’s like he doesn’t know me at all.

Edit: Thinking about ordering a Lytro camera, but wanted to see if Tumblr would recognize the “live” photo format. Answer seems to be yeah, if you post it as a video. Although this is just taken from the Lytro website, and seems to be Flash-driven. I wonder if the actual photos from the camera would post the same way. Hmmm…
You can click anywhere in the photo to change...

yodelmachine replied to your photo: “Inexplicably awful turd.” … Can’t. Stop….
THERE’S A REASON FOR THAT
I can’t argue with you about that.

Things I have learned so far this weekend:
Contrary to all logic and reason, two dogs need way more than twice as much attention as a single dog.
Trying to find a consensus on the nutritional content of a particular Belgian beer on the internet is an exercise in futility.
Reading the excellent book The Art of Racing in the Rain in public is only advisable if you don’t mind people looking at you funny as you sob and snivel and...

1. Jumped out of a perfectly good airplane from 12,000 feet. Didn’t bounce.
2. Rode in an elevator with Dennis Hopper. He was a short, shifty-eyed little fucker.
3. Did aerobatics in an open-cockpit bi-wing Stearman. The passenger sits in the front seat, which meant that when we went into a nosedive to get up enough airspeed to do loops, etc., I was staring straight at the rapidly nearing...

I just got out of bed to take something because I can’t sleep. I’ve been scrolling backward through the dash, and three things:
1. I was confused as hell there for a bit.
b. The confusion may or may not be at least in part chemically induced.
iii. Y’all are some seriously twisted fucks.
4. I like that in an internet.

I’m ridiculously pleased at the increasing evidence that I apparently have muscles in my arms after all.

Dongle.
Reminds me of one of my favorite blog posts ever, by Palinode:
To my immense delight, I found out last week that every Avid editing suite comes, as a matter of security, with a programmable key called a dongle. The function of the dongle is to prevent unauthorized rogue editors from sneaking into the building and layering in an aftereffect or converting a cut to a...
