ION I had to reassure my mother that I was not on the Red Line in Chinatown today.
I was at that stop just the other day for a concert, and I never take the Red Line that far south. And I can't quite figure out the geometry of how that even happened.
I saw one really high angle photo (probably from a helicopter) that looked more plausible than I could figure out otherwise. I don't quite get how the truck made it between the support pillars though.
When I was 13 or something, I shaved off the whole front of my shin while shaving my legs
Yeah, I did that one too at about the same age.
I am so tired it's a bit surreal. I think I might actually go to bed.

this was really odd to me, since there is a red line in Chinatown in DC.
Wow, I didn't even hear about that until you guys brought it up here. Of course, I didn't leave the office anywhere close to "evening rush hour" so it wouldn't have affected me. Feh.
got home from Brooklyn late last night - a good trip. Gorgeous day! Tom, I'm sad we didn't get to meet up (and everyone should know that Tom was incredibly patient with me and my multiple emails) - hope to catch you next time. I so love New York. As we drove in (Ver. Bridge), the harbor was chock full of boats - commerce, people! And as we left, there was a full-fledged cricket game going on in the square outside our building. love.
I only picked 2 small, language-based fights yesterday. This is good, given the context.
Why did I volunteer myself for helping a disorganized friend paint today? Because I felt so sorry for her (genuine) sob story, I guess. And I like helping, in general, but she's so disorganized that I end up grinding my teeth because it will be done in stupid ways that could be so much more efficient, and that she can't be gently argued out of, either.

Ugh.
I'm in Denver at a conference. Which I am presenting at but apparently not registered for. My flight landed at 12:25 AM, but we were trapped on the plane until 1:00 because they couldn't get the jetway to work right. This was especially troubling because my seat was directly across from the bathroom in the back. It was like sitting in the back of a Greyhound Bus.
The upside was I was able to get one of two cabs and get to the hotel. Which is a huge blessing.
I have a session to attend then lunch then I'm presenting then I'm going home. I miss home.
