Found an entry about the Yezidis in another person's LJ, pretty much randomly.

The Yezidis are known as Arabic devil worshippers. I've talked to some of you about them, with varying accuracy. While the truth still seems to be quite obscure, what I've found is quite interesting.

Today will be day #3 of boot camp (I'm on the flex plan, 3x per week for five weeks rather than 5x). So far, so good, but it *is* still week numero uno. I'm eating a lot more potassium, so with luck I can keep my muscles from getting *too* sore. I know yesterday was not a happy time for my abdominal muscles.

Saw boot_slut last night, for the first time in distinctly too long. Yay! We had fun. And port. They're a good combination.

Bed shopping soon. I need a new mattress. The old one is on its last legs, so to speak. Anybody want a big impressive headboard and footboard that won't fit my new king-sized mattress? They're the Pier One "Pyramid" series, if that helps.
