Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn, that's scary. Stay safe, LA!!

Stupid question: yesterday I was sure I was just having allergies, but today my glands seem a little swollen. Does that mean it's actually another cold, or could that be from allergies, too?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd vote allergies, fwiw. I think of allergies as doing a general swelling thing, anyway.

What is even happening?

Like Theo, I think it could be from allergies, Jesse. If you don't have a fever (or if you have a lowgrade fever) I'd bet it is from allergies. Allergies are when your immune system decides to be a drama queen.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope Allyson and all her neighbors are safe this morning. I haven't seen any news on the fire yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've been telling myself all week that my gland swelling is allergy related, Jesse, and so far it seems to be true.

Lee, why are you awake?

Allyson, I hope you and Ruby are safe and got some sleep last night. My news said that the landmarks of Griffith Park were not in danger, and that they were letting everyone who was evacuated last night back to their homes this a.m.

eta: My news is D.C. news, so those anchors might not have a clue.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Best wishes for the LAistas.

And sympathies to Stephanie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So sorry, Stephanie.

I'm not sure why I think it's better if it's allergies than a cold, but there you go. Stupid allergies. Claritin is supposed to be non-drowsy, right? Maybe I'll try that.

Here's hoping that Allyson stays home today. I know it's a new job and all, but very nearly having to evacuate your apartment surely qualifies as special circumstances!

Sympathies, Stephanie! Healing-ma to you and your family!

I'm sorry Stephanie.

You're totally getting the mumps Jesse! Or at least that's what I'm thinking, everytime my glands feel swollen.
