Ah! Now the "23" in D23 makes tot sense to me - f'n illuminati!

Sounds like fun. I hope you post a few photos after you've had a chance to relax and unpack.

I will post them! I'm sorting through them now, all 685 of them. :) Hoping to get it down to 100 or so.

Photographic Evidence That the Sun Makes You Age Prematurely
(spoilered for size)

Wow. I will be better about sunscreen.

I don't know if that proves much (almost certainly not that sun will age you as much as it did him). My grandfather was a trucker and so I knew a fair number of elderly career truck drivers and I don't recall ever seeing anything like that among them.

So I suspect that this guy's reaction to sun exposure is atypical.

But you should still be good about sunscreen. Or take my approach, which is essentially "eh, I'm going to die of something so why discriminate against skin cancer?"

Lani disagrees with my approach, but she's not the boss of me.

Spelling Conundrum
 

In role-playing gaming, it's common for certain items to be usable by some characters but not others. (The reason for these restrictions are numerous and irrelevant to this topic.) There is a need to refer to the state of gear and/or weapons that can be used by a character. The word used all the time is one I'm not sure how to spell.

Would you write "equipable" or "equippable"?

I'd spell it "class restricted."

But for what you want,the two p version.

Saw Hugh Laurie and his band tonight at the really cool art-deco theater we have here in town (it's really old, and was recently refurbished- he expressed admiration at the fact that we took the time and money as a city to restore it to it's former glory), and it was the perfect venue for his music. Great guy, so funny and talented. Couldn't be more impressed with the show- glad to see he is moving on and doing what he loves! The place was sold out long ago, and he got quite a few ovations, etc. He also did whiskey shots on stage with the band- he explained it was part of their 'bonding process...'- lol.
