But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I've got to decide on my reading material for tomorrow. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to end up juried. (Blahblahblah civic duty rah!rah! but if I'm selected , it's going to be a pain work and morning-wise.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you're on a jury, you usually don't have to be there first thing in the am, so the lawyers and judge have a chance to do their thing. IME.

Castro seems pretty dead. Or at least severely incapacitated. I love the "message from Fidel." "I am fine! They will not be sure of my condition for a couple of days, but I'm doing GREAT!!"

Feh. It's only 10:20 in the AM and it's already hit the 90s. This morning is already so GROSS!

It hit 90 at 9 am here!

Our wings are not tired.

If Fidel is dead I'm not going home for another month. The Miami Cubans are already going nuts just on rumor. @@ The majority of them have no personal knowledge or interest in Cuba. Like Americans most of them have no huge interest in political matters. Their parents or grandparents hate Castro so they hate him too. People are partying in the street! To Calle Ocho! If leaving Miami and going home to Cuba were an option tomorrow we would not see any drop in the Cuban population in Miami. Which is a good thing. They have great parties on Calle Ocho.

Punishingly Intricate

I went to hot yoga this morning because I = crazy but also I figured it would make the rest of the day seem relatively cool. so far it's working. but I don't plan to spend a lot of time outside.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So which is the best solution for Cuba? Castrobot? Or Castro's head in a jar?

It's 87 here already. (I thought that the weather was supposed to break last night. . . guess not.)

It's supposed to reach 99 F here today (heat index of 105). Ungodly hot, but it's also not out of line for NC in August. I'll be glad when September rolls around.
