Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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

It's very irritating about the job. At least I know in advance, I guess. But it makes financial decisions very weird for the next little while. A krav guy has an IT startup that just got some funding that I might look at, but even in good health I'd rather not embark on a job hunt.

I'd love it if they found the $$ to make this one stick. It's so nearby! They already know my foibles! They had intended to keep me on, so at least I wasn't hallucinating that. I was wondering how I could have flaked on something so big. The budget restrictions are fairly recent.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

And it will be much, much funnier when you are telling the story to her friends in 10-15 years time.

Oh, definitely.

And I figure this all proves she is my daughter...

But it might raise suspicion that you'd been having an affair with Robert Jordan.

Punishingly Intricate

Really hoping this is what happens.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Emeline threw me off this morning.

I was all braced for the usual "I WILL NOT WEAR PANTS, NO, NEVER AAAAIIIIEEEEEE!!!" Instead she informed me first thing that she likes pants now and was more than happy to wear them.

I suspect a trap.

Compassionately intolerant

It's copacetic in here. Too copacetic.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Well, given that one of my literary dreams is to find a character or characters to be my Sharpe or Aubrey/Maturin so I can settle in and write about them for 20 books or so, I think that's all me...

Instead she informed me first thing that she likes pants now and was more than happy to wear them.

Annabel has decided that dresses aren't the ultimate evil, but only if they don't have flowers on them and only to wear to church. She likes purses, though. She loves wearing her Mariners jacket, which is an exact miniature of the current team jackets, while carrying the white lace purse we got to go with her Easter dress.

Coding and Sleeping

I read some Robert Jordon, but there came a point that I just stopped caring how the story would turn out. Little did I suspect that the story would never turn out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I only just decided to keep my hair a little longer than it's been in recent years, and I see that picture of Katie Holme's new haircut and suddenly think that's what I want. I don't really want a "heavy fringe," right?

No, it will. His son will wrap it up.
