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.
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.

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.
Dag, scrappy! That's cold.
erika, has anyone sent you this ecard yet? [link] I share it here for others who will also appreciate it.
Scrappy! That sucks.
I got broken up with on Valentine's Day at Mexico City restaurant (is it still there, LA'istas??). So I only got a consolation burrito!
Happiest of Birthdays, Erika!!
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.
Also got broken up with on Valentine's. In private, at least.
When I first moved into my current apartment, every Wednesday morning at some ridiculously early hour - 5:30 maybe - the phone would ring and it would be an older woman asking for "Geraldine". I'd answer the phone and tell her she had a wrong number ... and the next Wednesday, same thing. Until I finally - after a month? six weeks? something like that - I told her it was early, that I'd been asleep, and would she PLEASE check the number before dialing.
