Today is not as hot as yesterday, and that makes me sad. On the up side, I'm about to leave for lunch preceding a meeting that will keep me out of the office for the rest of the afternoon, and might even result in me getting home in time for a) bonus sleep or b) bonus krav.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Good choice/bad choice was a big part of how I was raised, but it was more of a discussion approach than a buzz word at the end of a phone call.
It worked well with my campers too. You don't just DO STUFF, you make choices. Also, "there are two kinds of rules, rules to be nice and rules to be safe. Which kind do you think this is?" was pretty effective too.
They're both superior to "because that's the rule" and "because I said so"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"Mom, I chose the 20 year single malt over the Jack Daniels. Admit it--that was an excellent choice!"
Thing is? They're not wrong.

Hi. I'm in Jerusalem. (I got online to check my email, then realized that they charge for ten minutes even if you only use two, so I'm using up my remaining eight minutes.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
