This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I *think* she meant terrorist fist jabs.

Oh my.

Hey, someone FINALLY got some video of my gondolier sis doing her gondola thing! Check out my awesome sister! (She says her male colleague picked the key and would like to apologize for her voice on the high notes.)

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

Your awesome sister is awesome, Jessica!

I saw Paul Giamatti on the subway this morning. He lives in my neighborhood; I've been waiting to see him. Was he nominated for anything this morning?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Jessica, that is so AWESOME! DH took me on a gondola ride when we went to Vegas together and I loved it.

That's cool, too, Tom! PG is one of DH's favorites. (Mine, too.)

Barb, I'm sorry for you loss. My sympathies to your family.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sorry for your family's loss, Barb.

Punishingly Intricate

Sorry for your loss, Barb.

Posted my pictures from the Wilmington whistlestop and the inauguration last night! I didn't get to many due to the extreme cold and the being blocked by other peoples' hats factors. But there's a couple of good ones I think.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Much peace and coping~ma to Lewis's family, Barb, and blessings on his uncle's memory.

Jess, your sister is awesome and clearly has an awesome job. And wow, even in that fuzzy little YouTube vid she is so very much your sister! Hand gestures, the way she moves, the shape of her face, the tilt of her head--totally JessiKin.

ION, bleargh. Feh on my state hanging onto refunds (though I understand how dire things are; it's just that our wee refund will make no dent at all in the state budget but would mean so much to ours), and feh on the quarterly statement I got yesterday from my retirement plan. My personal fund lost 21% of its value between 10/1 and 12/31. Bleargh bleargh bleargh. Retirement at 72, here I come.
