many of you are too ambitious this morning.
Not me. I took oatmeal bread out of the bread machine, which was too short: I think my yeast was kinda dead. And my sister woke me at 9 am to ask if I'd take her daughters into the city to shop for shoes. Woe.
I love the girls but I really didn't want to go back into the city this weekend. Ah, well.
I need to run errands and do some writing.
Have fun in Denver, Lee! Play with the puppy!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
George Kennan was a diplomat who wrote the Long Telegram which outlined the policy of containment that the US State Dept. adopted in 1946. He saw the actions of the USSR as worrisome not because they were communist but because of Russia's history of imperialism.
Anyhow, when containment was implemented primarily through military, he totally argued against how it was working and pressed for a more political solution.
Most recently he spoke out very strongly against the Iraq war becuase entering a war with any fuzzziness of purpose means that the outcome becomes even harder to predict (my version not his).
His book, American Diplomacy was a favorite of mine. I liked the man';s writing quite a bit and thought that his realpolitik vision of the world matched what I was observing. I studied his work often when I was doing Foreign Policy stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Turns out that in putting it together, it was the wrench that got stripped, mostly. So taking it apart wasn't as bad as I'd feared. Still, one screw is de-threaded, and it never sat right and was funny shaped anyway. So I'm getting a new one, with more concave legs, for the balcony here.
Eventually.
Also, lori took down the wall bracket I'd had my video stuff on, and I spackled big holes.
One box of trash and one last box of stuff to come here, and I'm done.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'm listening to Wall to Wall Sondheim right now AIFG!

All is well that ends in pizza.
pretty cloud formations. my dad sent me this link
Rows and flows of angel hair,
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons ev’rywhere,
I’ve looked at clouds that way.
