the wide tent

sing, o barren one who did not bear; burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labor! for the children of the desolate woman will be more than the children of her that is married, says the lord. enlarge the site of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. for you will spread out to the right and to the left... and your decendants will settle the desolate towns. isaiah 54:1-3

payback's a bitch

the cost of dinner and drinks with really fun work colleagues at cuba libre: what? $30, $40?

a ticket to see "a prayer for owen meany" with your ap students and said fun colleagues at the arden theater: around $30 or so.

a partner who is at home, with the kids, figuring your interim grade reports which are due tomorrow?

so, what is priceless going for these days? any suggestions?

i'm so excited that sara is coming too! woo-hoo!
