It reminds me The Camp of the Dog by Algernon Blackwood. Quite scary...

Hey, cool! Too bad I'm leaving NYC for Rochester in 5 hours. We could have hung out. Oh well, maybe next time. Have fun!

It is raining here in central Virginia. A heavy and much needed rain. Perhaps a half-inch in the last hour. The first rain in about a month.

About fours years ago we had a spell where it did not rain from July-November. That was scary. How bad was it? The fraternity boys at UVA suggested that the sorority girls shower with the guys in order to conserve water. True and noble Virginia gentleman.

Raining here, too. Not as desperately needed, but nice nonetheless.

What made me smile today was how fun it is when you know someone well to have a whole conversation nonverbally (as separate from signing). The following "conversation" happened today between me and sozlet's best friends' mom as we picked up the girls from preschool. (Background -- we usually hang out at the school playground for a while after school but had considered stopping that practice because the girls both seem to inevitably end up having a meltdown when we do that.)

Action in <brackets> nonverbal translation in quotes:

Me, seeing bfm: <wave> "Hi there!"
bfm: <wave> "Hiya!" <segues to more urgent wave> "We're gonna get out of here right away" <eyebrows raised> "Right?"
Me: <hooks thumb in direction of door> "Oh yeah, we're on our way out now, trying to make a break for it."
bfm: <thumbs up> "Great, see you later"
Me: <thumbs up> "Hope it works and the girls don't freak, later!"

(All within a few seconds as we passed each other in the hall.)

What made me smile today..
Baby blurb.
Bean is at the age where she cant QUITE form her words, so she lisps, spits and stumbles her way through sounds.. with so much seriousness on her little face you would think she was givng the Dahlai Lama the " what for " :-)

Im sitting in the middle of the floor and she walks around me.. blurbing...over and over again.
Then she comes up to me, takes the blocks out of my hands and holds one of my fingers in each of her little hands an stares at me.
I smile and say " Hi beautiful"..
she says " hi" Shocked
walks away..
Meanwhile.. Im sitting in the middle of the floor 'stupified'.. my baby just deliberatly said HI!!!

She circles around the room again and walks back in front of me, grabs my fingers and stares again..
" Hi beautiful" .. i say
very carefully and clearly she says " Hiiee.. mmmom"
Shocked Very Happy

A nice compliment about the old A2K Avatar project made me smile. Very Happy

I've decided it's worthwhile to do it again, so I'm doing a new one.
