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

Our wings are not tired.
Good morning, Tom.

Morning, Tom. Laura. Coffee.

I am so very cranky this morning. All the caffeine in the world isn't going to put a dent in that.

I hate those mornings, Tom. I'm having kind of an ambivalent one. I'm not quite sure yet what my mood is going to be, which is unnerving.

So Tom, would you prefer if I dress in an outfit featuring pom poms and cheer you on, or shall I smite someone on your behalf? Here to serve.
Coffee since I have been in Otter Lake has been brewed from a bag of Dunkin' Donuts French Vanilla. Not bad, but I am really looking forward to getting home to the nice variety of coffee options we have at the office. And Cuban, that would be a nice treat.
I'm heading south next Monday, early. It will take me 2 days so I want to get to my half way point early enough to enjoy a swim and nice dinner before getting up early to drive all day Tuesday. Wednesday morning is Freshman orientation at my son's HS. Got a Freshman and a Senior this year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My coffee is too hot.
Oh well - at least the Entropy Fairy will take care of that....

I just realized yesterday that I only have a week of freedom left. Which is particularly annoying as my mother is planning to come help me move in once she returns to the country, but at that point it may well be too late. Well, I couldn't really make her move furniture anyway. She 's not frail or anything, but she's a good deal more brain-oriented than bicep-oriented.
Hey, I just saw a fawn run across my front yard! I will miss the wildlife here. The cat and I watched rabbits in the front yard for quite a while yesterday.

Emily, I'm SO not up on things -- where are you moving?!
The good news: I just finally found my passport for the trip to Canada tomorrow.
The bad news: it expired 5 years ago.
Does anybody know what happens if you try to cross back to the US with an expired passport? Do you have to wait until the gov't renews it by mail (to Canadialand where one is presumably stranded) or can you go to a consulate in person, expired passport in hand. I'd actually not mind visiting Quebec for a few extra days if it meant I got to go to the Worldcon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My child, again with the lying to me and trying to sneak his GD DS to school. THEN he threw my Mets cap into a flowerbed in front of a building as he walked behind me to school. Was it there when I went back after dropping him off? NO. I am in no hurry to replace it, but he'll be paying for it when I do. Tuesdays must be "act like a brat" day, we seem to do some version of this dance every Tuesday.
