Lychee is in the grocery store. They kindof look like a cross between raspberries and strawberries, and they look unripe, though that may be normal. I've never seen them except in gummy form.

Lychee pie, anyone?

And how dare they have a different configuration! Right? Computers are so personal. Aside from the content. You have the settings, the programs, the shortcuts, the bookmarks. You know where your stuff is and their stuff is not in the same place as your stuff. My work computer was just re-done and I spent a day trying to get it back to how it was. It's getting there but still needs a lot of work.

MF, thanks! Lychees are yummy! I normally buy them canned. I wonder how they are fresh.

I just spent my lunch watching a slideshow of my friend's vacation photos of Japan. Love it. So very zen. I want to go there.

After Sunday, I told David I would like a "Dawn Free Weekend." He is still spending waaay too much time over at her house, with her and the kids. Sunday James (the 8 yr old boy) flew into a litteral rage against Nickolas (because Nick didn't want to watch NasCar) and tried to bite him. All I heard was a very primal yell and then Nickolas crying. Nick has a very high pain tollerance, so when he cried I know it is bad. He managed to keep James from biting his hand and his face, but the kid managed to latch on on Nick's chest. He now has a black and blue mark in the shape of a mouth.

The reasoning later used to defend his behaviour: He flies into rages just like his dad, he sees red and there is no dealing with him *giggle*. After Jimmy's death she was going to get James some counseling, it has never happened. I am goign to try to take a stand that until he gets some serious help she will not see us around.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if we have any in the stores up here? We have a bunch of specialty markets and such. I just found out Sunday that I can get my favorite lychee gummy candy at the Walgreen's 1/2 block away from my place. They have lychee and melon flavors here, but no kiwi. Alas.

I saw these at Publix; they were with the other berries, in a smallish plastic container like the kind raspberries and blueberries come in. Surely if Publix has them, so does Whole Foods.

Alas, I don't think ripe fruit would ship well.

I should do a bit of web research and figure out how to tell when lychees are ripe/good. Maybe I will make a pie. Hmmm...

I don't think Rose'll ever use my computer again...

I've got a geek keyboard - no labels whatsoever on the keys

But I understand the keys are very sticky.
