It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am clipping all these Guinness recipes. Yum.

Have mown (mowed?) and edged my front yard. Still need to sweep up the clippings, but I'm starving. That yogurt I had before starting is not going to hold me through to dinner, I guess.

They just identified the killer on the L&O CI rerun I'm watching because of how he enunciates his Ts.

Are there article at the NYT online that are only accessible to subscribers?

Not yet? But starting at the end of the month you can only read 20/month if you don't pay. Or somesuch.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why am I arguing with a not-yet-7-year-old where St. Patrick was born? Stupid movie they saw at school seems to have told them he was born in Ireland.

Grrrrrr.

Even though I'm buried with work, I'm kind of liking my company today. The Red Cross donation thing, an announcement of an award for 100 Most Ethical Companies, and now this:

We’re going to adopt an Illinois best practice just for tomorrow morning – and have a ‘late start’ tomorrow (Friday) in honor of St. Patty’s Day.

In other words, we’ll see you in the office one hour later than your standard start time (if your workload/schedule allows!!)

That's a new one on me! Unfortunately I actually have to leave early tomorrow, so I may or may not take advantage.

Because you went back in time, and my mom was tired of arguing with me?

Or perhaps the last item on this list is the problem [link]

Because books.

I didn't realize until recently that today is the day he died, rather than his birthday.

In cross-your-fingers good news, it looks like they've gotten offsite power to Unit 2 and have gotten a backup generator working to cool the spent fuel pools in units 5 and 6. I haven't seen anything recent on the status of the unit 4 pool.
