Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just worked out why my father's going to Shanghai this autumn. Tennis. I'm such a slow learner.

msbelle, my Thatcher thing was perfectly sensible. Woman. In charge of country. When you're ten, that's very impressive. I may only recently have started crying when women do stuff onscreen, but the seeds were well laid.

This fall, a woman will be president indeed.

And then you realize that the helmet hair should have been a warning that she was not, actually, the kind of person you want in charge anyway, right? I mean, yay woman, but, of all women -- Margaret Thatcher?

That is like worshipping Phyllis Schlafly, or Ann Coulter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I did go downstairs, considered both the soups and the hot food bar, but ended up with my same old salad I always get. But I did get tea to go with it, so that's something.

I am eating my lunch, and it is good, but the nearest microwave is about 400 miles away (it's on another floor, at the opposite end of the other building.) Cold chili. Would be better hot. But I have no time.

Dear work, Knock it off already!!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Don't worry, Jesse. I got Chipotle for you. I hope a chicken-black bean bol is okay.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, my friends.

Politicians and good hair are not concepts I put together in any sort of causal fashion. I mean, they're politicians. With a few exceptions (Mandela, sweet Mandela) they're fuddy to the duddy, yo.
