Working remotely in a different time zone means either being super clear that your hours are not their hours, or adjusting yours to fit theirs. I have colleages in CA, and some basically work east coast hours, and some work west coast hours, and we have to remember which!
Darn your sinister attraction!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah. Yesterday, my husband's aunt, back in Texas, called at 6AM. And then hung up before I could get to the phone, presumably because she realized it was 6AM here. She's without power, though, so I'll forgive her.

This is fun--a New Yorker goes on a hot dog crawl through Chicago, comparing his city's weiners to Chicago's and finding his top four hot dog joints.

Thanks, everyone. I was all set to name my current cat Omar, but there were no black ones and instead of being stealthy, he's all sociable. He has a tail like a raccoon so he's Rocky.

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

That's Alan Richman. I dated him for a bit a long time ago. He has the distinction of breaking up with me ON MY BIRTHDAY in a freaking restaurant. Because he is a foodie, it was a really GOOD restaurant, but still not a smooth move.

My mother called me recently at 6 AM (her time). I was awake (packing) and immediately answered the phone with, "What's wrong?" (I always assume when my phone rings that early that someone is dead.)
She had called me by accident and was mortified.
