Lucise have we got Dairy Queen featured in the gallery? Maybe this restaurant is particularly appropriate:

All of your avatars are so great!

Well here I am again... I had an amazing turnaround in the pain this morning and fell dead asleep after logging out sometime after midnight Leslie's time, and she babysat me most of the night, which was very sweet of her if I do say so.  I managed to sleep quite restfully until about 9 a.m. when it was time to face the music.  Unfortunately, the prognosis from the surgeon is that my infection is far too severe to operate now and I have to go through a series of retreatments of the infection over the course of the next several days, and they hope that by Thursday or Friday the infection will have subsided enough for them to operate.  EGAD!  And if this pain doesnt let up it means I won't be at work either.  I am hoping I start to feel better ... soon.

I know, and I'm thankful to know, that I'm not the only person who has conversations with our boys.  ;D

Yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning, I had an unusually vivid conversation. It's a bit off topic for this thread, so I posted my recounting of the conversation on my livejournal. If you're interested, here's the link:

Since I slept most of the day and am still waiting for the pain to let up so I can think enough to write, here is my contribution to the "Ellery Hair Length Question"

This is what I imagine Ellery's hair length to be, on the original Hugh head itself:

“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”
