This is how my brain works: Last night in chat, DC mentioned something about Pork Riblets. After asking if "Riblets" was a brand name, I babbled on about the word making me think of ribs and ribbits (frog sounds) at the same time, which got me trying to remember if frogs have ribs (forgive me, this was late at night and my memory was halfway to sleep). So after trying to remember something about the 10th-grade frog dissection other than the fact that our group's frog's brains were insufficiently scrambled and it kept trying to crawl out of the bag it was stored in, I grabbed the Franco to Goethals volume of the encyclopedia off the shelf and found myself looking at drawings of froggie vertebrae until I spied the label for the frog's Achilles tendon, which set me off thinking about what an amphibian Trojan war would be like. What ruse would Greek frogs use to get inside the city? Frogs tend not to ride horses into battle, you know. DC was a bit nonplussed when I told him he had to come up with an answer before I could go to bed or I'd be lying awake all night wondering about different wooden devices to be hidden in. Finally he came up with wooden lilypads (too flat), wooden flies, and wooden toadstools. Anybody else have other ideas?

In other news: Walked over three miles two days in a row. Amazingly still feeling capable of walking this morning, in spite of getting too little sleep. Hooray!

Ooh, a Trojan Turtle! Not only a cute mental picture, but it's got alliteration.

I'm also glad I'm feeling better, though I'm not sure I'll get much done today what with having had about 5 hours' sleep last night. We'll see.

You can do it.

Heck, I got less sleep than you did and just look at all the emailing, posting and Lj I got done.

I even tossed some raw meat at Lil Un and gave the cats some oatmeal.

Wait.

Un

Methinks you have more energy to begin with than I have, so you can get away with sleep-deprivation better than I can. I'm fading fast and wondering if I'll manage to eat something before passing out or after.

Hey, could you toss some raw meat my way?

Sure I have more energy.

I also have an energy sucking vortex that requires constant attention, feeding, walking and prying the remote of her hands.

And Lil Un keeps me busy too.

I would never toss meat in your general direction.

Let me know what you like and I will cook it for you in Gatlinburg.
