Mole End

"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered." "As he hurried along, eagerly anticipating the moment when he would be at home again among the things he knew and liked, the Mole saw clearly that he must keep to the pleasant places in which his lines were laid and which held adventure enough, in their way, to last a lifetime.

Men in .......?

I wrote this little piece while at Laci's house for her birthday party. Please note that this is the honest truth, and names have not been changed to reveal the guilty.

"We can't do this," Andrew says.
We're listening from downstairs, rapid footsteps and questioning laughs. The rattle of hangers, then, as she head's upstairs to listen, "Molly's coming!" and panicked laughter. Laci worries aloud about what they could be doing. As we begin to settle down, Tyler and Nick appear at the foot of the stairs. We barely have time to register that they are wearing skirts, and scream to Laci when they turn and run.
-an hour later, after we have surrendered our cameras

"You can't blame me for missing it because I was brushing my teeth," pleads Laci for the twentieth time. When they finally agree, we go downstairs to wait. Even before they appear, we are giggling in anticipation. Here they come. Tyler wears a long red skirt with a beaded sash. Nick is wearing a green skirt, Andrew a black one, and Logan a knee-length brown skirt. They have them pulled up above their waists to fit, t-shirts tucked in, and pants underneath. We chased them up the stairs, laughing desperately as they tripped and tangled in the long skirts.

Live that one down boys.

The boys release no comment at this time. In fact they will probably release no comments...ever. They are all hiding on an island of uncertain coordinates and of an uncertain name...that is all.
