Pumpkin Pie smoothie

As I mentioned on Twitter, last week I passed my level one aerial hoop test. It involved such skills as hanging by one knee, hanging by one arm (my worst skill), pullover (adrenaline got me over), mermaid, and spinning for 20 seconds (ugh, queasy). After circus, we have a ritual smoothie. This week's was Pumpkin Pi(neapple). The last time I made a Pumpkin smoothie, it didn't go over that well. It was too thick maybe, or too rich. This one worked better, and it got two cans out of my fridge, so win!

2 cups milk
3 scoops vanilla frozen yogurt
1/2 can pumpkin pie filling
1/2 can pineapple with juice
banana

Blend it! Yum!

Over at the dayjob, SMEs are feverishly trying to get documents back to me all marked up, in preparation for the release that's supposed to happen the week I'm back from VP. Today's best comment: Unfortunately not true. SMEs, they're so cute.

Moraine

So a couple of days I thought I was done with this short story, and I wrote the last line of the story. I even dated it (that's how I can tell it's over). It was a little long, at 6600 words (I was aiming for 5000). But then I was walking to work, and I thought, "My, that was a lame ending. My endings are all crap." So yesterday morning, I scribbled out the date and wrote a bit more. And this morning I wrote a bit more again, and I dated it and called it done. And still, that ending seemed lame. So a few minutes later, in the last paragraph, I scratched out "the Oak Ridges Moraine" and wrote in "that stupid moraine". Much better. Now I can move on. But in the meantime, I was doing a little research about the Moraine, and I discovered that EGTourGuide lives on it. Only by one or two hundred feet, but I thought it was funny. Good for you, EGTourGuide, with all those excellent plants growing on that substandard soil, where in the olden days (you kno...
