OK, I have just convinced myself that it's actually good that I can't get my last project done, because it gives my replacement something straightforward to do on his own....
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Isn't there a Maglev train proposed for Baltimore to DC? That would be cool.

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

Unfortunately, such a project would have to stand in line behind an inter-county connector, the Purple Line, and fixing the potholes we have every 10 feet on every road around here. Car-eating potholes. With bad breath.

Adding to the good news of the day...
I mentioned in February that I had proposed a member support program at my gym. After being turned down by the local GM, I went to the VP, who it turns out, loves the idea. The dotted line has been signed, my membership is now gratis and I have a great way to get my name out in front of a whole new coaching audience, learn cool new stuff AND get motivated to work out now that my personal trainerbff has moved out of town.
Lemonade, baybee!

Like the one on the Geico commercial that sounds like Britney Spears?

And tourists? STAND RIGHT, WALK LEFT!
I am not above a pleasant, yet booming, "Standing on the right, walking on the left, please!"
Every single time I do it, some local thanks me.

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 am not above a pleasant, yet booming, "Standing on the right, walking on the left, please!"
I wish people did that in Chicago.
Maybe if I yell at two people for standing on the left, they'll yell at two people, and they'll yell at two people, and so on and so on....

Congrats Hil!
Locals don't understand escalator etiquette here either. My train station has one (not all do, because it's light rail) and I can't tell you the number of times I've just missed my train because people are just standing around all willy nilly texting, listening to their iPods, or what have you. They also don't understand waiting for people to get off the train before trying to get on.
For some reason the bus people have at least figured that one out.
