I'm so looking forward to today. After a couple weeks of true crap (layoffs at work, so hence fear and loathing in the office, although me and mine were unaffected; worries about NiQ and DOL; general mid-winter malaise), there's a nice Innana/Foilwoman funfest on offer, including used book stores, donations (Kira, DG grew out of some of the lovely clothes you first sent for TG -- of course we still have tons, she's the best-dressed four-year old ever -- and I'm giving the unstained, untorn ones that my neighbor with a smaller child doesn't need to a local thrift shop so someone else gets the benefit of Ariana's fashion sense), and some Italian food.
Even though this is my non-custodial weekend, I had a fun evening at chess and gaming with TG.
And today is sunny and a nice day to drive out to points west for true bargains on books.* So I'm off.
*Which I won't be paying cash for anyway -- I'll just buy with the store credit I'll get for trading books in.

Speaking of books. IIRC you're into military history?
I've just finished a book that you might enjoy. I'll let you know when I do the review - probably next week now as there are two reviews ahead of it....
Mr. Cat: I read military history as much as possible. Most of the stuff in U.S. bookstores and libraries is (1) U.S. Civil War, (2) WWII (U.S. experience) and (3) Viet Nam war. I'm trying to learn more about the Russian experience in WWII and Napoleon's Russian campaign, and other military histories. I'd love to read your review.
I have another box to send off, too. I should do it towards the end of the week. I'm glad that DG has gotten such good use out of the clothes!
Kira: You are truly a godsend. DG is such a well-dressed child, and it has absolutely nothing to do with me. Of course, it did feel good to share the wealth, so I was pleased to be able to do for a stranger out in Centreville (that's where the Clocktower Thrift Store is) what you have done for me.
I can see all obstacles in my way...
Your eminence: good to see you. How are Benny-ette, the BennyDude (they're both so cude) and Mme. Benny* doing? And you, of course.
*Not to imply that your accountant-Taurus**-better-half doesn't have her own identity -- of course she does -- but preserving her well deserved (she doesn't want the whole Intertubes demographic to know she's married to you, does she?) anonymity.
