other superheroes Obama should meet.
Ethan is awesome. I love the Aquaman one:
After Aquaman exits the building, Obama turns to the other foreign dignitaries and says what everyone’s thinking: “Man is that guy lame or what?”
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Tom and I are on the ferry at Sausalito. We decided not to actually get off the boat before heading back, but the trip over was great.

There was an event on DuPont Circle today with a giant inflatable George W. Bush, at which people threw shoes. No, really: [link]

I have printed out maps and directions and phone numbers. I have put a new memory card in the camera and rounded up batteries. I have ascertained that we probably will walk through the 395 tunnel. I found my beltloop money carrier. I set the alarm and lights to go at 5 am. I know what I'm wearing.
Now to just get up at 5 am and for 29 to not be a parking lot. Or ice rink.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Aww. If I'd known about that, I totally would have gone. I even have a pair of shoes I really want to get rid of! (I keep meaning to just throw them away, but I keep forgetting.)

My office sent out an e-mail asking, nay, begging, people not to watch tomorrow's inauguration on their computers since all of those people trying to stream it on their desktops would slow down the company's network to a standstill. Instead, we're supposed to watch it on the TVs they've got set up at each location (ours will be in the cafeteria). I won't be here, so I don't have to worry about that, but that's the first time I've ever seen such a request issued by TPTB.

My mom's school district made the same request. My work didn't say it explicitly, just implied. But we're old hands at bandwidth taking out our connection. But it is usually done to us, rather than us doing it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We weren't asked not to watch at our desks, just invited to bring our lunches to the conference room.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my work has not done a damn thing. Almost everyone I know has something arranged at their offices, or some acknowledgment. us, nothing.
