Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm curious if anyone else has seen this guy, or it's just circulating in my circle of Jews:

I saw him live a few weeks ago (Halloween weekend, at 6th and I.) It was a great show. I've been hearing stuff about him for the past year or so.

You wanna talk frumpy and dumpy? Tshirt material pale blue pj pants coming unstitched at a seam. Grey baggy vneck tshirt. Hair in a really unattractive but comfortable barrette. Zit cream. Flip flops. Nails in need of a manicure. I'm not revelling in frump, I just can't care once I get home and comfy.

Thank goodness my cats already think I'm a deformed balding cat. Can't do much about the human cops, though. I love answering the door right after I've plucked my eyebrows. Red ahoy! And why do they care so much about the light that is out, anyway? It doesn't make much difference.

Oh dear. Just talked to my neighbor, Ms. Louise. She's probably in her early 70s , raising her greatgrandkids (who watch my cats and adore Mister Kitty.) She's in a lot of pain, and they are doing a sonogram in a few weeks to see what is causing it. Don't sound good at all. She's had a few heart attacks, and isn't really in the best of shape for her age (though she looks much younger.) I'm worried.

Those kids damned well better go shopping and throw a bang up thanksgiving for her. I've told them so.

Hil! I have absolutely no math questions for you!

Of course, I do have a test next week, so I can't promise this will be true the next time I see you. But yay!

Dude, guys, my crush on my algebra teacher is getting out of hand. Today he corrected his grammar on the board.

so I packing for a trip where it will be mid-fifties when I arrive, mid-TEENS when I travel to my meeting and forties to fifties when I go to lunch and then depart.

How do I pack for that, in business wear?

I have no idea, msbelle. I'm sort of grasping for a 20 degree change, when my local temp keeps fluctuating all the hell over the place. Layers? Suit coat, lightweight sweater, shell? And pants, not skirt. Plus scarf and boots.

I take it you are going westerly? A distance coworker/contractor bugged out early yesterday because he had to deal with an incoming storm of 20". WHACKY.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ooh! You should do what the girl in Indiana Jone's class did and paint your message of love on your eyelids. And then blink a lot.

Layers? Suit coat, lightweight sweater, shell? And pants, not skirt. Plus scarf and boots.
Yep. As many layers as you can and good socks under the pants if you can hide them. Or find them in a business-appropriate color.

I'm flinching with memories of a business trip in Michigan. In January. Brrrrr.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I will pay cash money if you do that and come back and tell us all about it.

yes, West. I think I am just resigned to packing my big ass coat. I hope that it one outfit and toilitries will allow for enough room for my laptop bag to fit in teh suitcase. I don't want to have to negotiate two bags tomorrow if I don't have to.

msbelle, I would suggest layers, and maybe carry your winter coat on the plane.
