My boys were born in the 32th week of pregnancy. Jerzy weighted almost 2 kilograms, but Stanisław only a little more than 1 kilogram. Now they are five years old, but the size difference can be easily seen. Stanisław, however, has much more energy and bravery - just like it has to be condensed to fit smaller size ;)

Sorry I couldn't make LLORG. Things going on at home.

Congrats on the impending move to DC. I'm in DC 2-3 times a year, so maybe we can do an LLORG there?

Thanks! Hope all is well with your family.
Yeah, message me when you'll be in town. I'll grab coffee or a beer with you anytime. We can see who else is in the area and maybe get a little thing going on.

Elsa Maria -- Awesome!! I'll def send a message when I get there :)


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Nothing I great to report. Had a funny experience though. Someone (who shall remain nameless) said something super awkward to me (very rude, except I love her so it made me laugh) at Thanksgiving. I thought about the conversation for a really long time -- hours maybe. Later tonight I was talking to my dad and I started to tell him what was said... Only.. apparently I had been running it through my head in French, and I no longer remembered the English that we'd actually spoken. I had to try and retranslate it, and I messed up and couldn't get it word for word until I sat down to think quite a bit later.
Brains are so weird.

Ani, could you explain what you meant to me? Because I have got a brain too. What's more, its neurons are also differently wired than "The Very Usual Way". And yes, I did read the entire context, but still asking about your intended meaning.
