Plei - I know. I think about poor Teddy O'Connor. Horses sometimes just do that. I've never read any details of the first two horses deaths - which makes me wonder.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Hello from Granada, where you get free tapas if you order a drink! I love traveling with my nieces, but i could do without the sinus infection from hell, which is seriously cramping my style. Anyway, Spain is lovely and i hope all y'all are doing ok. Yay for Maria's benignity.

I would say more but Kindles are crap to type on and we have tix to the Alhambra for 9 am tomorrow, which is... eeks, 9 hours from now.

Be well!

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

and we have tix to the Alhambra for 9 am tomorrow, which is... eeks, 9 hours from now.

I do hope you post about your visit at length. I so want to see the Alhambra. I am fascinated by it.

Can you get abx for the sinus infection? Those suck at the best of times but are worse when travelling.

Must start doing research about Madrid and surrounds.

STILL haven't gotten the ok to book flights. Found out that there was serious pushback from the project, and my head of mission totally threw down for us and let the project save face by saying the format of our paperwork was rendered unreadable when faxed. (Side note: we fill out these stupid forms in an excel worksheet. Which are converted to PDF. And then faxed to the project. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL KIND OF SYSTEM IS THAT??? We ARE rocket scientists!!)

Which makes me really glad I made a name for myself in his eyes on certain projects a couple years back because I was one of the people they were trying to cut despite the fact I am the person the partners actually rely on to research problems and I need some of their expertise in some upcoming projects. But see, I'm an ops person, not a scientist or manager. Of course.

The delay is not going to cost me (except flight times might be more onerous,) but sure as hell will cost the project.

And I spent all day coding, which makes me pretty manic (I'm not sure why, but it is enough that I should never become a fulltime programmer,) and chasing down other problems so I'm a nutball right now.

Man, was there another flare today or something? I've rebooted the computer, the router and still sluggish internet and then the ABC digital channel lost sound for a bit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's what I fed JZ tonight:

Nachos (chips, black beans, salsa, cheese)
Steamed artichoke with curried mayo
A small martini

Eclectic, but she assures me it was satisfying.

Now waiting for Emmett to drag his bedraggled ass home after a long day of school and baseball practice. I've been trying to give him a ride home after practice, but they've had a lot of practices rained out this week so I didn't plan on getting him. He probably won't get home until 8ish.

Yeah, it was awful today.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Here's what I fed JZ tonight:

Nachos sound gooooooood. Er, bueno.

I had gluten-free ravioli that I found in the frozen section at the grocery. It's been so long since I had ravioli that I almost cried. I am now eating TJ's flourless chocolate cake, which is amazing.

Ooh, that sounds like a lovely meal.

I've had yoghurt and a banana.

I probably should have something else.
