Arrrr! Avast, me mateys!

Many rum-soaked felicitations of yer natal day to Lori!

And for Plei & her DH, may ye plunder together for many a year.

If I had a bottle of rum, I'd be chugging it right now.

I have a sneaking suspicion that in the near future, I will find myself having to work a weekend or two.

There is literally nothing going on at my office today. I sent my minion on a wild-goose chase (I know what I'm looking for, but have NO IDEA where to look!), so that should take up a chunk of her afternoon.

Bwah, Trudy! Too funny.

Happiest of birthdays, o answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Hmm. At least, to the universe, miss finding ice on mars thang!

happy birthday Lori

happy anniversary to Plei and Paul

Bring on the grog!

Happy birthday, lori! 42 is a good year.

Happy anniversary to Plei and Paul.

So there's a sub in the kindergarten class, she appears to be in her late 70s. I am worried the kids might break her. Plus it's my day to volunteer in the class. I have no idea if she wants me there, but whatever, plan to go anyway.

Happy Birthaversary Lori, Plei & Paul!!!!

Happy birthday, lori!

Happy annivesary, Ple and Paul!

Oooh, look at the wisdom Wikipedia laid out on its front page:

Anekantavada is one of the most important and basic doctrines of Jainism. It refers to the principles of pluralism and multiplicity of viewpoints, the notion that truth and reality are perceived differently from diverse points of view, and that no single point of view is the complete truth. Jains contrast all attempts to proclaim absolute truth with adhgajanyāyah, which can be illustrated through the maxim of the "Blind Men and an Elephant". In this story, one blind man felt the trunk of an elephant, another the tusks, another the ears, another the tail. All the men claimed to explain the true appearance of the elephant, but could only partly succeed, due to their limited perspectives. According to the Jains, only the Kevalins—the omniscient beings—can comprehend objects in all aspects and manifestations; others are only capable of partial knowledge. Consequently, no single, specific, human view can claim to represent absolute truth. Anekāntavāda encourages its adherents to consider the views and beliefs of their rivals and opposing parties. Proponents of anekāntavāda apply this principle to religion and philosophy, reminding themselves that any religion or philosophy, even Jainism, that clings too dogmatically to its own tenets, is committing an error based on its limited point of view.
