Miscellanousositiness

1) A happy Midsummer, all! Here, Nature has decided to celebrate with Wagnerian thunderstorms and the most autumnal summer day we've had this year. This suits me very, very well indeed.

2) This week, I've found a total of 14 four-leaf clovers and two five-leafers. This had better damned well balance out all this Mercury-in-retrograde malarkey.

3) Took boy-child and girl-child to Six Flags Great Escape this morning (their grandparents generously sprung for season passes not only for them, but for me as well—thank you again!), where the following conversation took place while waiting in line for the bumper cars:

Abbey: [pointing out the test-your-strength game] And oh, Dad! Over there, you can win a prize by hitting that thing with a hammer.
Me: Um, sweetie? Let me put this to you gently: Your dad's a wuss.
Abbey: Whoops. You haven't been working out lately, have you?
Me: No, I haven't.
Abbey: Ah. [reaches into her pocket and hands me a dime]
Me: What's this?
Abbey: My lucky dime. I think you might need it.
Teenager Behind Us in Line: Oh, man. You just got called out by your own kid.
Me: Yeah. It happens. Frequently.

*giggle* Lucky you, with the season passes! Just avoid 6Flags Kentucky, or you'll lose your feet.

Remind me to thank my ex-in-laws profusely one more time. (Lose my feet?)

[rubian77.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Google "6 flags kentucky feet" and take your pick of news stories.

I have a season's pass. Too bad you are far away:) I'm prolly going again sometime during the week of the 4th...

Ooo! You should totally come up! It's only four hours away, and you have guaranteed crash space.

That's terribly sweet. If I knew you just a little better and Rafaela at all, I'd be pretty tempted...though sometimes I don't sleep so well in strange places, and I would not want to subject you to the crazy that is me when I am sleep-deprived...

_{and 4 hours driving alone in a car traveling through New York scares me a bit more than it should at my age...sigh...}

Thanks so much for the offer, though:)

Maybe at some point we could hang out when next you are up this way?
