AND just to prove that I, indeed do know it all.... Hitting the hay harkens back to the days when we/they well, people anyway had mattresses stuffed with... drumroll please.... hay. It occasionally needed to be changed- to keep the lice to a minimum and keep the stink down, and while the act of re-stuffing may be in part where the saying comes from (as in I want a stiffer mattress I may pack in more hay thereby hitting the hay to add more) I'm betting it's the simpler explanation of landing on said mattress when going to bed...

there you have it. and right when I thought nobody could possibly still be reading besides kristin, and the girl erin (hi!) that emails me when I wonder if anyone is reading, and cheers me on as such.
in case anyone cares, kevin was also kind enough to inform me that huey lewis (yes, and the news as well) are alive and kicking, and touring through the area quite soon. oh shit, I just spent my extra money on bumbershoot. drag.

Stumbled upon you blog and I must say, you write beautifully and with such emotion. But I can feel the anger jumping off my screen. You've hinted and bounced around it but have not just laid it out there. What is holding your, pen if I may, back?
Another intertwined one,
Leo
