Ugh. I'm sorry, ita.
With regard to the vaccine discussion from the other day, has anyone seen this, about parents who organize "Pox Parties"? Seriously?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

ita = queen of winning on line arguments. I hope you can keep some calories down.
I am still angry with my coworkers, so I just figured I need to hibernate in my room.
I'm teaching Othello this year instead of King Lear and I am totally enjoying it. We're doing more close reading for performance than we are doing just plow through and read. Tomorrow is 1.3 and I can't wait to get to the speech where Othello explains that it is his stories that has wooed Desdemona.
My nose is cold. I'm in fleece and more fleece. But I think I'm so cold because I swam for the first time in 3 weeks. Slow. And my goggles are be-fogged (and full of sand!). My knee hurts but good so I should stretch. Bah. This growing old thing SUCKS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This article says you can't win an online argument. Pfah. I won one this morning.
No, you didn't.

HA! Dana made me snortle.
Pox Parties... What fucking MORONS.

And on Facebook! Because that's a smart thing to do, advertise your FEDERAL OFFENSES. Jesus.
Growing old is horrible, Kat. I wake up some mornings and positively hobble to the bathroom. So depressing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty against it. It's not going so great.
Gatorade achieved.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh ita, do I need to bring over more Gatorade? I feel like maybe I should make it a regular habit, bringing over Gatorade and crackers once a week. Hell I'd bring chocolate brownie cupcakes except I don't know where to find them, and I'm not sure I could resist them long enough to transport them to your place.
My kids like to take watered down Gatorade in their lunches so it's become a regular grocery store purchase.
Growing old is a pain, that's for sure, but I tell myself it's better than the alternative. Of course, there's vampiredom, but I hear that's a hard path to break into.

I think I remember a story about John Adams going somewhere with some friends while in college to a place where they'd be exposed to someone with cowpox, in order to get some immunity to smallpox. But, yeah, a quarter of a millennium ago!

No, I think I have more than I can drink tonight, Burrell. Thanks for looking out, though.
Joe Frazier, RIP.
