I'm sure it stands for Royal Navy or something, but I quite like the idea he was a nurse whose career had taken a series of interesting turns.

So what are people doing this weekend?
I have a gift certificate for Kohls and they're having a 25-30% off sale tomorrow. I think it's fate.

Go lisah with the 1/2 marathon!
May I note that Kat usually did a ice bath immediately after running long distances? Not quite as much fun as hot bath and cold beers. But apparently more effective.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know why, Burrell! He just asked for 20 people from my U. to hang out with him.
I'm running a 1/2 marathon tomorrow.
Go lisah!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So what are people doing this weekend?
Seeing Wallace & Grommit tonight, then closing weekend of Faire all weekend. Everyone is in a tizzy because Fred Willard is going to be there taping a show. I don't know whether to squee or melt into a puddle of formless dread.

SIS recruits high-calibre, motivated and dynamic staff to perform operational, technical and administrative functions in the UK and abroad. Send a CV and letter explaining which position you wish to be considered for to PO Box 1301 (not PO Box 1300), London, SE1 5UD.
