Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I have to drive to freakin' Manteca for Emmett's last tournament of the season.

That's where Ex-Army Brother works. (He lives in Modesto.) That is quite a drive.

I'm only working till 12:30 today because we have tickets to the M's-Angels game at 1:35. This seemed much more exciting 48 hours ago before the M's dropped the first two of the series in embarrassing fashion. Oh well. Maybe Felix will pitch a gem. But probably not. t /Mariners fan pessimism (tm)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Don't drop me off too close to school. Okay you can come in. On second thought, stop right there."

Ha!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was wondering if Ages were short enough for us to be out of the Industrial. I don't wanna be Industrial. Wanna be cyber.

I think I wear a wide variety of heel height. Mostly low. Will vary more.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

LinkedIn just showed me people I might like to connect to and juliana's name was in there!!! How do they know??? We don't work in the same industry or city, haven't worked for the same company, and didn't attend the same college. Spooky.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I spent the morning trying to get my work laptop working from home. None of my connections were functioning, and wouldn't until I had to call the help desk (outsourced to Perot down in Texas, for some godawful reason) four separate times and my boss twice. Yuck. Everything works now, but I'm not touching any of my cords until Friday night, in case everything blows up again.

That is so freaking creepy, Gloomcookie -- whenever they ask if I know people, I always know two out of three, with no obvious connection. Right when I joined, they asked if I knew my cousin -- not the same name, location, occupation, alma mater, nothing! So weird.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

ita, Runner's World has an article on treating Plantar Fasciitis.

LinkedIn just showed me people I might like to connect to and juliana's name was in there!!! How do they know???

Address book, I think. Prob. mine, since I'm flipping between home and work emails a lot. Sorry!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENK!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEARA!!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I thought we were in the Information Age, but that could just be marketing jargon infiltrating my subconscious.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

When one says Bronze Age, for instance, what order of size is the Age?

Thousands and thousands of years. Basically, everything between the Stone Age and the Iron Age. (The Greeks and Romans were Iron Age -- The Trojan War was Bronze Age, but the nexus of Greek civilization was Iron).

No apologies needed - I was just like, how'd they know?
