If anyone is traveling from points south of Reston VA and can give me a ride without undue inconvenience, it would help a lot -- we have only one car at the moment.
Willing to babysit as long as it doesn't overlap with _all_ of the stuff I want to get to.

Anne here. How's everyone? I miss socializing with y'all, but I'm busy as heck. Sometimes I feel like a hamster on a wheel, without the reward of nice tasty pellets when I'm done. :-)
Anyway, summer is here, and we still don't have a *&*^^ summer camp in place for our boys. (Non-parents, you wouldn't *believe* what it costs; think about $1600 to $2000 a month. Yikes!) But I have an idea of how to solve the problem--and if you're in the DC metro, and your offspring is bored and idle too, we might be able to help each other..

It appears that Darren and Anne urgently need some cash. Anne needs to get into a special medical program at Johns Hopkins, and there is an upfront fee that the hospital wants in cash. Although they are doing all right on the day-to-day stuff, they just don't have the extra money to cover the entrance fee. Nevertheless, Darren and Anne aren't looking for charitable handouts. What they're hoping for is a little bit of paid work. If you've got something in their skillsets that needs doing, and you've got some money, perhaps you could please consider hiring one of them to do the job. Darren is a web designer by trade. His work includes: http://www.royzimmerman.com/ http://www.otherworldsandlands.com/ My personal experience of Darren's web design is that he's brilliant with the visual "look" of the site (the "design" aspect of web design), but likes to break unordered lists *grin* (I had been withholding his name from my previous posts, as I didn't know whether he wanted anonymity or not... now I know that he's looking for recognition.) Anne is a writer and a marketer (sales person) by trade. Her specialty is marketing writing. A gallery of Anne's work is at http://annezieger.com/default.aspx You can reach anne at anneczieger@gmail.com, or darren at dzieger@gmail.com.

In business or other formal settings, I find that wearing some sort of upper-body covering, be it a t-shirt, pinstripes, or the pelt from my most recent Mastodon hunt, is de rigeur; because it's hard for people to take you seriously when they're mesmerized by the motion of your pendulous man-boobs.
"It's a flying car."
(if you need more than that to engage your enthusiasm, leave the dealership and check yourself into the county morgue.)
- 18:17 Just added myself to the wefollow.com twitter directory under: #songwriter #webdesign #socialist #
"Why don't you do what you do
When you did what you did to me"
A grammatologicotemporal train wreck.
I'd be willing to let this go and grant Mr. Jackson poetic license if making that phrase make sense would somehow mess up the scansion or make it sound awkward.
But really, changing it to either
Why don't you do what you do
When you do what you did to me
or
Why don't you do what you did
When you did what you did to me
...the latter making more sense in the context of the song -- would involve switching a single, one-syllable word for another, and would not introduce anything new to the mind-numbing little "do" / "did" scheme.
Most importantly, it would have freed up the billions of neuron-minutes I've wasted over the past 30 years on this microscopic dot on the edge of a asterisk in the footnotes to the appendix of the annals of late 20th century pop culture.
[sfx: crickets chirping]
Yeah, well, it's exiting to me, dammit.
