sarameg, I am so sorry about your aunt. Wishing you and you family coping-ma and peace.
It's a real burden being right so often.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Now tagless for your comfort.
It feels like every muscle in my body has seized up this morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I came to two voicemails from people I was supposed to be at meetings with yesterday. Oops. One of them, I thought it was a bigger group meeting, but I was the only one who said yes. The other, my department was kind of key, and the other person invited is on vacation. So there's that.

Yikes. And ouch.
I hope they unseize quickly. In related non-relaxy muscle news: my back is still ouchy - so I am at home again today.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

A woman named Marijuana Pepsi Jackson
Sawyer’s aunt, Mayetta Jackson of Chicago, clearly remembers when the name was picked in 1972. The newborn’s mother and father were products of the post-Woodstock era when reefer was rampant.
“And they would cool off with a Pepsi,” she said, which makes you think it’s lucky for Sawyer that it wasn’t Coke instead. “I thought it was crazy,” her aunt said about the name, “but they were such fun-loving people that it suited them.”
She gives a surprising amount of credit to her mother for making her resilient and resourceful. “She instilled in me that fighting attitude – never take no, you can do anything,” Sawyer said.
By high school, her name was cool to many. “They were like, ‘Oh yeah. Man, I wish I had your name. I love that. I’m going to name my kid after you.’ I hear that so much and I go, Lord, please don’t do that to that child.”

I first read "Bing Crosby" as "Bill Cosby" and wondered that he had a wine cellar back in 1960....
