{{{Cass}}} Feel better.
{{{Nora}}}
Nora-- when I used to get mad at my self for stuff like getting mad over nothing, my therapist told me not to waste time judging my feelings. Feelings can't be controlled--if they could be controlled they'd be,. well, rational thoughts. She said I should acknowledge the feeling-- "I'm furious" and take a minute or two to just feel it, and then let it simmer as I went about my business. This may not work for you, but the energy I spent fighting or trying to repress my feelings kept me from doing my work, and I found once I gave myself permission to actually feel them, no matter how petty or irrational, they no longer distracted or exhausted me as much.
That Robin's going to get a reputation for being wise.
Robin = teh smrt.
Plie, Jilli, and Kristin - we have practice games at Brannan field until about 2pm. Then I think we are free, if anyone wants to meet up.
Call me when it's done--we can arrange meeting up!
Typoboy - he is up in your area. go listen
Looks like he is Oregon this Month. I'm in Olympia WA. Not 100% my neck of the woods.
Hi, guys, I'm feeling better. Robin, very wise words, and it was exactly what I ended up doing. I stomped around some, and then we went out for a nice brunch and a beer and it's a lovely day and I was able to let go of the anger.
It's gorgeous out, up here. Hot and sunny and blue skies, no humidity, and a lovely sea breeze blowing. Those kinds of days are dangerous, because I don't realize how much sun I'm getting, because it all feels very pleasant. Even though I'm not a beach person, it makes me happy to live so close to the water.
Went to brunch at In A Pig's Eye, ran into Frankenbuddha as we were coming out of the new artisinal bakery in town, went to a couple bookstores for a birthday present for Tom's 15(?) year old nephew... we got him the Hitchiker book, the 5 novels in one book thing, and will get him Adams' Last Chance To See [link] as well.
Kristin, if anything works, it will need to be Monday. I am in no way going to be cleared for driving more than fifteen minutes today. But maybe Monday?
Monday would be fine. We're planning on doing a little boat tour of Lake Union for a couple of hours and possibly meeting up with a couple of Drew's non-Buffista friends at the Aquarium, but you'd be more than welcome at any of those activities.

Yay! We would love to meet up. We don't have any plans today beyond sleeping in (which ND is still enjoying) and going out to the club late tonight.
A question for Buffistas, who live everywhere: If I like cloudy, cool weather, that rarely gets below 40F or above 75F, and I like the company of intelligent, educated people and interesting things to do, and I want to stay in North America, where should I live?
edited because i'm a dummy: degrees F not C.
Indeed it is a small temperature range. I know it's largely unrealistic, but that's where I'm comfortable, so the closer I can come to that range, the happier I'll be.
And I edited because, yeah, F not C. ::smacks head::
I loved both Seattle and San Francisco when I visited them.
