Whoa! Massive turbulence on the descent into BWI.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Meara, if a woman came upp to you during Pride and said "I have a policy of letting people know If i think they're beautiful during Pride.You're beautiful" followed by long eye contact. Would they have a chance?
Um, I would be flattered, if nothing else. And heck yeah, if she were cute I'd talk to her! ...that sounds kinda like something I'd do. :) (ETA: I mean, I am someone who has had a stranger say "You're cute!" and me respond "So are you!" and get asked "Wanna make out?" and done it...)
Technically the NDA is still in place, but the no compete was the larger issue. I'm only ever the second person they've done it for. I hope this is a portent of better things to come.
Oh wow, Maria! Fingers crossed for you!

Because books.
Maria, that's great news! I hope it works out.
sara, what's a "ups"?

Now tagless for your comfort.
"uninterrupted power supply?"

What Cash said. Battery backup. In industrial (work) situations, provides a stopgap until the generators kick in. At home? Buys you time.
So a black bear wandered through my aunt and uncle's (uncle of the motorcycle fame) property. This was taken by the neighbors, yard and cars are my relatives'. Sue mentioned is my aunt. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am getting tips from the lesbian ex of my childhood male friend. Not sure if that trick would work across gender. Doesn't mean I shouldn't try, though.
I want to take Rich, dress in something scandalous, and try and pick up an entire bar. Where would be a good bar for that?
Amy, a UPS is an uninterruptible power source. Basically it;s a big battery you plug yout computers in so they don't come slamming down when power is lost.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

A UPS sounds like a good thing to have.

He was surprisingly nimble! I always expect more ... lumbering.

Well no, it might not. Plus Pride is sorta a special circumstance. The time I referred to was at Decadence, which is basically Pride-Esque.

That's fantastic, Maria, and what a sign of respect from your company. That alone ought to impress the hell out of the other company. Fingers crossed.
Music/podcast transfer successful! No playlists, but that's OK, because my playlists were kind of random and crappy. It'll be sort of fun to make new and improved ones.
