that would work. I will let you know if we go to church or if we'll be homebound all day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Can a pardon precede a conviction?
It worked for Nixon.

Can a pardon precede a conviction?
Yes. What can't happen: The President can't give you a pardon for an offense you haven't yet committed.

If people are pardoned, then they wouldn't be subject to the Fifth Amendment, and therefore could be compelled to testify under oath, right?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Tonight: grocery shopping and wrapping
Tomorrow: baking and wrapping
Sunday: party and probably more baking
Which reminds me, I need to pick up Pillsbury pie crusts when I go shopping tonight.
Holy moly, a wasp the size of my middle finger just flew into my office window! Where's a good ice storm when you need it?

Weekend, watch Christmas Story with people who have never seen it. Get lobster.
Tomorrow: run around like a chicken with my head cut off. FLy home. Sunday: Possibly collapse.
Relatedly, I seem to have deleted the email with all my flight information, which is making trying to make plans for tomorrow difficult, since I don't know which of two possible flights is the one I'm booked on! I have a copy at home, so I am not in a total panic, but I am tried and annoyed at myself.

Watch them hide under claims of "national security" and "classified information."
