Goddamn, he's wonderful.

In a weird coincidence, my dad has print copies of the stuff in the vault I've been interred in intermittently and I need to find out if the Smithsonian (!) or anyone else would be interested in them. FREAKY. And yet not, cause I'm in an incestuous field that sorta breeds those coincidences. It's really weird to have your biggest boss be your dad's peer and the people being the contacts for an interview back in the day being his grad students. I don't run into it too often, but when I do, I kinda feel 12. I'm in a different aspect of the field, so it really isn't nepotism, but still. "Hi! Oh hell, you know my dad. He hired and fired you back in the day."

OTOH, it has given me great pre-sight into these people.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I wandered around the Home Despot for awhile after getting spare keys made up. I got a venus flytrap!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

egad, mac is too funny. I can't wait to see what happens when you mix mac and Isaac.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Mac is oh so handsome and oh so funny.

Scrappy, I was just oohing and aahing your photos over in LJ. You look beauteous.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Such an appropriate typo.

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

Mac is delightful! And Scrappy, your pictures are breathtaking.

"Hi! Oh hell, you know my dad. He hired and fired you back in the day."

My sister worked for the Jamaican Foreign Service as her first real job. It involved bumping into a lot of people who'd babysat her back in the day--and some of them she might even have been career tracked above (though not strictly above). Now she teaches at the same university my mother does, so that's one apple that's not rolled far from the tree from which it fell.

Watching the "Our Son Jack" or whatever from Masterpiece yesterday (since I slept all but an hour or two of Sunday, no lie), and what's with Kim Cattrall's accent? I don't want to harsh on the bad MI-5 US accents anymore, because she has absolutely no excuse for sounding that weird. Maybe it's something in the food.

It really took me several readings before I could figure out what in the hell you were talking about, sarameg. I kept thining "But you're not dead! Why would you be interred? And intermittently?? And why is your dad storing PAPERS in your future resting place, isn't a safe deposit box more sensible? Are we suddenly in a mystery novel??"

Clearly even though it is not yet 10pm in Seattle, it is my bedtime, since I am on the East Coast Time now.
