Heh - the day I decide to finally abandon LJ for good (I've posted maybe three comments in the past year, and haven't updated my own journal in...forever?), I get two emails notifying me that I am now the owner of two communities that haven't been active in...also forever. I guess I'm not the only one trying to streamline social networks today.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, what was that about? There wasn't anything in the email about needing to do anything.

An interesting profile on Grant Achatz, chef at Alinea, considered the best restaurant in the US.

erika, I'm not sure how many are in my union, the WSEU, but we are all administrative personnel working for the university. The university system across the state employees something like 25,000 classified workers and most of us are union employees. So, think folks a lot like your mother.

Keller is quoted extensively in that article, since he was Achatz's mentor (he was sous chef at the French Laundry when he was 25). Achatz even named one of his sons Keller.
