Diagnosis

Emma (not to be confused with GEmma): I think I have Turret's Syndrome.

A-L: Is that a syndrome that causes you to misspell other syndromes?

Emma: Nope. It's a syndrome wherein you're envious of people whose homes have turrets. Extremely common in visitors to San Francisco.

No Film in the Camera

My Finnish fairy Godparents went to Russia about 25 years ago and took some amazing photographs. Not exactly sure at what point, but sometime - presumably after all the photo ops - they realized that there wasn't any film in the camera. Which reminds me...

...back in early(ish) June I sat at a dinner table with Sister Maria, The Dog-Father, Peter the Greek, The Downstairs Neighbor of the Upstairs Unicorn, and Grand brother Hector's cousins, amongst other characters as-yet-unknown in this sphere. Did I take a picture?

No. Left the film in Russia. With my Finnish fairy Godparents.

Those Silly Germans

The Dog-Father: Why aren't you blogging?

A-L: Nothing funny has happened.

D-F: That's why you should go hiking with those Germans.

A-L: Pardon?

D-F: There's a German Tourist Club. They have a hike planned for next weekend. You should go.

A-L: What makes you think I think Germans are funny?

Sister Maria: I told him.

D-F: Please report back to me after the hike. Thanks.
