Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Squirrel. In my outdoor storage room. Again. Does not seem to have gone through the roof so I am dealing with this tomorrow. I am running terribly late as is. Damn, do not want more squirrel issues. But apparently that is what I was hearing and not a bird either stuck in my chimney or nesting at the top. Argh.

Also the squirrel was totally challenging Puppycat. Now, she's dumb, but she's still a CAT, squirrel. And I have a gouge in my leg from her claw yesterday when she wasn't even trying to hurt or play with me. I was tempted to invoke the Circle of Life, basically. But I am already running late and I don't want to clean squirrel guts.

Apropos of yesterday's plague talk: [link]

I am off to walk 2.1 miles to pick the kids up from school. The hard part will be getting them to walk the 2.1 miles home. I have packed snacks and we will be stopping at the library. They can't get bus service until Oct. 24.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. And I love you all, too.

Sorry about the terrible session. I believe everyone who's been in therapy has a few. We have not met all that many times, Tom, but you smiled at me at an f2f and it made me want to giggle like a freshman. ita, my mom sends your mom cancer-survival -ma.

{{hugs}}, Tom. You are awesome.

Yikes, flea! No city buses available?

In me news, I got my Nemesis to forward me a telephone number. Woot.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Does anyone else think that recreating the Black Death is a less than stellar idea? Bet Seanan could come up with a book about that ....

Because books.

Tom's smile was one of my favorite things about New York in May. I just didn't get enough of it.

I'm in Seattle! In a lovely coffee sop eating herbed cheese fondue and ham on a croissant and being all wifi-y.
