SoberP, what a bummer trip for you. Hopefully you can wade through the insurance crap. I have BC/BS HMO and I'm pretty satisfied with it. We were recently switched to the dental too and it seems to be OK.
I'm sitting and relaxing while daughter plays down the street with a few neighbor kids. Son just joined them. Unfortunately the kids aren't around very often so they don't play often.
French cinema, eh? Obscure topic for me, I'm afraid. Usually shown at art houses a good distance from me. And I'm not a big enough film buff to go see them. I have, however, seen Amelie and enjoyed it very much but had to wiki it to remember much of it.
Watering the garden now. It appears something is eating the zucchini blossoms because while Brain is swimming in them, I don't have any. I do have some small cucumbers though.
I have to call my mother to let her know she's off the hook for taking kids to camp in the morning. Mr Ruby's failure to go to work today may have consequences. Ah, well.
