When 100% Is Not Enough; Or, Giving It Your Al(l)(oe)

Last night was lots of fun because Paul and Ty and I had Slumber Party Club, due to them being homeless for 12 hours.

One awesome thing was they got to see my pre-bed routine of Aloe-based pain relief due to the sunburn I gave myself when we all went to the beach. Ty is modeling the lotion here.

Know why it's so effective? It is made up of 70% Aloe, and 70% Aloe.

I'm 140% of the way to getting sunburn relief!

Summers Friday

I love Summer Fridays. In my world, this means I have alternating Fridays off (I alternate with my boss, in case there's an international publishing emergency: this way one of us can handle it).

On some Fridays I go on adventures, like to Outlet Malls or to Governor's Island.

Some days, like this one, I think I'm just going to be a lazybones. That means sleeping past 8, doing some laundry, and maybe going to boozy brunch with Amber before coming back here to eat vegetables and watch programs.

In the meantime, I sure know someone who likes it when I'm home during the day.

The Transitive Property Of Friendship

I sure had fun visiting David way back in April. Vacations are great.

When you're visiting someone with a Doctorate In Monkey Brains & Drunken Mice, it's hard not to have a little math on your vacation.

On this trip, I was refreshed on the Transitive Property of Equality.

David lives in Charleston, near the Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge. According to the Internet, it is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Americas. How long, you might ask?

According to the Transitive Property of Equality, it is about the same length as the wingspan of a bald eagle, according to this here exhibit at Dollywood.

Educational!
