dinsdag 9 januari 2013 Up at 3:57. Watch DW-TV. They do an exposé on the complete withdrawl of troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. It looks complicated. All that equipement. It's expensive to ship it all back to Germany. Another report - US: total withdrawal from Afghanistan possible.

Fried egg and pesto pasta salad for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Topic of the day: Time To Talk About Guns.

Like Michael Moore says... It's The Guns - But We All Know, It's Really Not The Guns. Stephanie refers to an article in the L.A. Times. Witnesses - veteran cops - struggle to stay composed as they describe trying to help the wounded and dead. Report - Colorado police officers testify about theater shooting. Very tough.

Visit the new Starbucks at 4th & Union. It's seems like a relaxing place to enjoy a short soy cocoa. It's too rainy. Take streetcar to work. Hang out with the Sea Otters while Patty and Charmaine take planning time. I borrow the parking garage from the Dolphins while they play outside. All 6 of the kids get involved without space issues. They seem understanding about how I need to return the garage.

Again, it's magic! The rain lets up. We head outside. I can't figure it out, but one of them is clingy to me. We go inside early. Eileen reads books while I set up lunches. As usual, they get silly. Down early for naps. A couple of them conk out by themselves. Over to Seahorses. Quiet time... except for one. Over to the Infant Room. It's always busy in there. It's funny... Rain gear for babies. I've seen it all in Seattle. Some of the stuff isn't practical for cold weather. Anyway... Streetcar to Whole Foods. Pick up some stuff (like Bubo Pinot Grigio). Bubo - the name of the goddess Athena's magical owl. Catch a number #8 to B'way. Walk around the neighborhood (without rain). #49 bus to d'town. Visit the American Eagle store. Oh, my. I feel old in here. Back home. Watch The Cycle... the 4 hottest wonks on TV. NO! There is NO COMMON GROUND ON THE GUN DEBATE!
