Technically, a few hours less, but the Pajama (and sweats and scrubs) Party is almost here! WooHoo!!! Tomorrow night we're going to the Addies, the local celebration of advertising excellence. So, Friday night we get to be dressy and formal and on Saturday it's all about being comfortable. I've never been to the Addies before. I'm very excited about this whole process of being respectable and presentable and supportive in public. I suspect that this means no talking about scars or prescrotal urethrostomies. I wonder if axolotls are appropriate conversation?
Axolotls are these really amazing little Mexican salamanders. They are actually only from one particular lake in Mexico. They are neotenic so they never actually leave the water and retain these beautifully feathery gills. They seem to be appearing in my journals more frequently. There is a breeding colony at Indiana University. How cool is that? One place on the planet that breeds in captivity critters that are only from one very specific place on the planet! And they're really, really cute little critters. One of my mentors in vet school had one and he was just adorable. Axolotls should be appropriate conversation anywhere.
Somewhere, Mom is thinking that she really should not have bothered with the etiquette classes when I was in junior high.
Axolotls, pajamas, friends - life is good.
