some update

It feels like Autumn, which is offensive to me; I patiently waited 7 months in the cold for beach bimbo weather and all I got were these lousy sandals. Oh well. Survey says Chicago takes its coffee differently these days- 100 degrees in October, Ice in June.

In fact, we all seem to set our clocks to the new weather schedule...I have more lake house trips planned for September/October and because being around warm water brings me more joy than 7 oreo cookies, I look forward to them so much.

OK, a couple things:

ChaCha, is a free texting service that sends any question you can possible ask to a live person's computer. This person can earn 20 cents by ransacking the internet for the most appropriate answer and returning your text. I've sent many a questions to chacha (242242) and this is my favorite example of how useful this service is when you are arguing with friends over drinks:

Robin:     "Did Bobcat Goldthwait REALLY marry Nikki Cox?"
ChaCha: "Bobcat and Cox were happily engaged in 1999; however, they ended the engagement in January 2005."

Second, it has come to my attention that rats, when tickled, will laugh. This fact, amongst other environmental and economical pushes, has kept me vegan since June. I'm proud of myself I guess, and happy to no longer have migraines....ever.
