You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just hanging out in my nightclothes, waiting for the shower.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know what a good way is to work out your frustration? Kneading bread!

Scary.

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

Scary.

Huh?

I've never made regular bread, just the no-knead.

Yeah, maybe I will. I keep seeing recipes that start with scalding milk, and that weirds me out, so.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

... But given a good speaker with an authoritative presentation, I'm not surprised there was hesitation! But what is great is that you then engaged and drew out their concerns; that's more likely to convince your audience in the longer term.

One thing that I appreciate in an opposing argument is the willingness of the arguee to respect me and want to sway me instead of telling me how wrong I am.

Thanks. Yes, I think respect for non-crazy opposing views is essential. As a practical matter, this is even more true when the opposing views are a majority view, and the view you are advancing is a minority one.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We're doing the Polar Plunge this afternoon. I should already be drinking.

I'm taking the camera so there will be pictures. I've probably lost my mind. But it's for Special Olympics so it's a good cause.
