Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

bt, stay safe! I've got a friend living in Melbourne right now, I just hope she's staying safe, too.

I can't say as I've noticed more store closures than normal. The local malls seem to have the average number of empty storefronts at any time, one closes, another opens. I haven't been up State Street lately, though; that's where all the indie boutique stores are and I think that would be a better indicator of the economy than the malls. My anecdata is clearly lacking.

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

Uh oh. Mine should be coming soon then. I think they are going to Vegas with us.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

my office is freezing. wish I had fingerless gloves.

I am starting 1 salad/day today - hoping to go for at least 2 weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a salad for lunch!

I think I went off bread for Lent last year (and kind of mostly did it), and maybe I'll do it again this year. A salad for lunch is a good thing, anyway.

Compassionately intolerant

a quick but unscientific survey of my friends is finding that people are seeing crowded retail and restaurants at every turn.

This has been my experience. Sure, we live in a bubble here in the cradle of democracy but there seems to be no slow down at all, even in the 'burbs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I need to get on the salad train too. I was dying to make myself mac and cheese for lunches for the week, but I went with a less cheesy, more veggie and chicken, pasta casserole.
