Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Chico, from what I have heard from someone who went to CSU-Chico undergrad is that it's a very agricultural and definitely a party school.

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

Would the world seriously grind to a halt if we just took off from Christmas eve until after the New Year?

That's what I have this year, AIFG. Today, I am revelling in the fact that I don't have to go anywhere or do anything or talk to anyone. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping and a motorcycle ride (weather permitting).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is there anyone around who knows a lot about government expense lingo? I'm trying to confirm that "travel status" just means anyone who is away from their home base, not a status that needs to be assigned to specific people. If that makes any sense at all.

I work on a Federal contract, and typically "travel status" means you are either over 50 miles from home on a day trip or you have spent the night somewhere on a trip. There are also limitations on time of day and meals allowable. But "travel status" is more a matter of where you are than who you are.

Awesome. Thanks, Suzi! That's what I said, but I don't want to screw anyone by having us charge travel costs to federal contracts on people who aren't qualified or whatever.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen's naked, playing a bongo drum. He's like a wee, Matthew McConaughey without the weed or the receding hairline.

Yeah, I got there -- it's just that someone else here was convinced the "status" was a person thing, not a location thing. I think I convinced her we're OK.

Is it wrong of me to want to see a picture of this?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Not wrong, Steph.

I want one so I can compare it to the picture my brother took of Emeline yesterday wearing only a tutu, panties, and roller skates.
