A little exam-ma would be appreciated for the DH. He's taking what could be his final actuarial exam this morning. He's put in over 400 hours of studying and it would be a huge relief for him to pass and get his fellowship in the CAS.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

OK, I have the unofficial word that I"m being laid off. Vibe me massive benefits and severance-ma, eh?

Thrive to spite them
I just got the exact dates of my trip to San Francisco!
I'll be arriving on Tuesday Nov 11 around noon and leaving Sunday morning (really really early) Nov 17th.
When y'all get through envying Steph you can envy me!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Birth Announcement
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a series!
St. Martins Press has just officially bought the second and third books of the Child Ballad series. $6K per title, and my agent got them to drop the joint accounting.
Actual book birthdates for the babies - "Famous Flower of Serving Men" and "Matty Groves" - will be posted as announced.
In the meantime?
WHEEEEEEEEE!

"You got twelve, and they got twelve. The old ladies are just as good as you are." -Dr. Einstein
For NYC Buffistas (or those Buffistas who might be in NYC in mid-January) these are the dates of performance of our production of Arsenic and Old Lace (I'm Dr. Einstein) here at the Almagamated Housing in the Bronx:
Friday Jan. 9 at 8 pm, Saturday Jan. 10 at 2 and 8, Sunday Jan. 11 at 2, Friday Jan. 16 at 8, Saturday the 17th at 2 and 8, and last performance Sunday Jan. 17 at 2. I'll post a reminder and directions come January, but I hope to see some of you in the audience (I think it will be a decent production).
And while I'm here-Congrats to Deborah!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Going dark until Sunday. Heading up to Maine to get the frell out of Salem. Halloween in Salem sounds like a fun idea, but it's more like the world's biggest frat party. Mardi Gras without New Orleans caliber cuisine (although we have decent restaurants, they just aren't THAT good). Plus, it's too cold for anybody to be doing much flashing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
As soon as I can get myself out of the office, I'll be going dark. I'm off to visit my oldest, best friend, and while the viewing of Angel tapes will be rife, the web access will be limited.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Toothma for Nora would be appreciated. Her tooth sensitivity turned out to be a sick nerve and she's having root canal in about an hour.

In the good news area -- my new nephew is back home. He was just a very hungry little boy.
