Oh man, msbelle.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, msbelle. I'm sorry it is so tough.

It is 70 here. Going to see the place I am moving to again so we can figure where stuff is going to be placed. Will take pictures. My eldest has no interest in going to see the place. He has other stuff to do. He is less than thrilled about the idea of moving. The younger son is delighted so I guess it balances out. B Jr. is 18 and graduating, so if he doesn't want to move with us he can make other plans. Does that sound heartless? Just the facts of life.

Oh, man, msbelle. Good luck with Mac.

It's noon and all I've done is clean the kitchen and put together cinnamon-raisin bread to rise. Oh, and I paid a bill or two. Still sick.

It's beautiful here and I should take the dog for a walk but gah. So much to do, I just want to hide under my desk.

I'm watching a backlog of Craig Ferguson episodes and trying to decide what to cook today. My bonus and small raise showed up in my paycheck yesterday, so I'm going to indulge in retail therapy. Maybe later I'll do some yoga and watch Whip It as I have it from Netflix.

So I got this vacuum: [link]

Holy cathair, batman! FINALLY. I don't like that it empties like a dyson, but it was the only one that had everything I was looking for. I'll get used to it.

Man, the amount of cathair that came up. Old vacuum was REALLY falling down on the job, and not just literally.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Laura, that new place is incredible! I hope the move goes as smoothly as possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I'm watching a movie to go unnamed in case I spoil anyone for a clumsy comedy from 2003 that has weird parallels to a current Oscar nominee.

Can you nullify a contract by physically tearing it up? I mean, doesn't that make it ridiculously easy for one party to renege?

Can you nullify a contract by physically tearing it up?

If it's the only copy?

Though everybody scans legal documents to PDF nowadays so that's a tougher trick to pull.

For reals? Tearing it in two nullifies it? That seems like a really simple out, if whatever you were intending to get from it is acted upon ASAP.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't know if destroying the only copy of a contract makes it null, I think it just makes the agreement undocumented and unenforceable.
