Happy Cthulhu Day!

Cthulhu Day, otherwise known as Chef Boyardee Appreciation Day, is the day where all of us petty three dimensional mortals worship our Dread Father. It is held thrice every year, on April 2nd, February 27 and December 2nd.

OK, one day late.

PZ has this to say:

It's Cthulhu Day today! There's a list of activities you should do today, but I've got my own ideas, and prefer not to tell you what they are, instead leaving you with a sense of inchoate unfolding dread.

No one told me…

I'm so sorry, Hec.

I've been trolling travel websites looking at prices to Miami, and it looks like we'll have to start calling the individual airlines asking about bereavement fares.

In December, when I flew down to Arlington to see my uncle in the hospital (and subsequently arrange his services), the one thing that was useful that we were able to swing was having the ability to change the return date of the ticket depending on what happened, and not have to pay any change fees whatsoever. I probably changed it about 3 times, it was such a relief to be able to have that flexibility. I feel like that was American? I can't remember off the top of my head.

Yay on Theo's good news and YAY for Scola's birthday!

I am also home, but not for any celebratory purposes, but because I am writing my departmental essay exam over the weekend. (the Masters Comps). Hopefully I'll get through it OK!

Sorry about your news Hec.

Happy Birthday Tom!
