Just under the wire...

I have a bunch of interesting happenings to talk about from the last week, including adventures with snakes and fires and disembodied limbs and muddy waters and erupting volcanoes... Okay, in retrospect, it sounds like I've been experiencing the budget version of the plagues of Egypt, but really it's been insanely fun.

That'll have to wait until tomorrow, however, because I am le tired. Sorry.

In fact, I am only sneaking in now to say:

1.) Happy 4th to everybody who celebrates!

and

2.) Happy Day-which-is-not-especially-significant-and-yet-was-hopefully-still-pleasant to everyone who doesn't!

(Yes, this is my very favorite holiday. Stuff goes boom. Hush, you.)
