Well, good morning!
I currently have three things written on my calendar for today. First off? It’s my sister-in-law’s birthday. She lives in Seattle. If you live in Seattle, please raise your drink to Susan at some point during the day. Also, today is Breast Cancer Awareness Day. I checked that item off fairly quickly. Next up? Labour Day in New Zealand. If you’re living in New Zealand I wish you the absolute happiest of Labour Days. Done.
This weekend we went to a pumpkin patch where the girls did a mini zipline sort of thing. Some people hyphenate zipline. Some people say it’s two words. The people in Maui go with Zipline, and I’m going to follow their lead. Mahalo nui loa.
In about twenty minutes, I’m going to go out there and be the best Angela Pudding I can be. I encourage you to do the same, but using your own fake last name.

My brother went great-big ziplining this weekend. I haven’t talked to him about it, but I’m assuming he survived.

I saw this and thought of you: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm229782.htm
Now you can feel better and look 10 years younger! ;-)

Zip line. Zipline. Zip-line. Zi-pline. Zipl-ine. Or, as we say here in Australia, “Flying Fox”.
As for the fake name, it’s not so much fake, as old. Great Grandma was Isabella. Mine is much more prosaic and boring. Bit like me really.

Thank you, from New Zealand.

Why, thank you very much for the Labour Day wishes – and the spelling. How thoughtful!
Unfortunately, I missed it entirely as I was crossing the dateline on my way back to NZ after two weeks (or a fortnight, as we say here) in Seattle and around. So that’s two ticks on one post. Record!

I personally dig “Flying Fox.” And since Australia is many many hours ahead of us, it makes me feel all future-y.

As Susan said, in Australia we call that a Flying Fox.

That’s us. Future-y. We even have plastic money, y’know. Cooool.
