It felt good. It felt refreshing in a way that talking to acquaintances, because I don't need to tell him what's bothering me, but I don't need to lie about it either, isn't.
I love to do that. On the tour I talked to people all over, mostly hotel staff (and there, they're sort of obligated to converse, but whatever). I did have a few really fun conversation at Pike Place Market in Seattle that day, though.
I'm glad you got some decent calories down. Have you ever though about (I know it's sort of blech, but) the Ensure drinks/puddings if you go through it again?
what Jessica said. And I completely understand that sensation too. Man.
The first sentence introduces the Cryptologic Community Foundation Principles. Uh.
I tried reading the wikipedia page on Crytpography (seriously, the reason is because xkcd makes so many references to it), and I was lost after about 1 paragraph.
Which is perhaps the point.
And now, unrelatedly, I am going to bake a GF pumpkin pie for the first time. I hope it doesn't suck, because I want to make one to take to my family's for Thanksgiving so I can eat some damn proper dessert.
Well things in Occupy Burlington have taken a bad turn. A protester, (possibly a veteran) died of a self inflicted gun shot wound yesterday and so the mayor and police are shutting down the camping.
It looks like the UU church maybe opening its doors to protesters (there were only about 80 people camping as part of Occupy Burlington)
I actually love a chocolate Ensure drink, Amy--I used to drink them during all day training at krav. Everyone thought I was gross, but chocolate! So I win.
However, when I'm gagging (I wonder if the left thumb trick will work for this?), they are way too rich.

I have to admit I sort of pinned down a nurse that way today. It could have been a cursory question about portacath hygiene, but I kinda drew it out because it was fun.
Ginger, Perkins, what extra efforts did your nurses go to when they were accessing the portacath? Today's nurse, for the first time, barely did anything extra. Cursory dab of chloraprep, and she was in. She's the first not to double glove, or multiple swab. Nurse before her even masked up and offered me one, which I declined.
Such a random peeve, but whatever: My coworker has got to stop saying she taught "in the Bronx," when she was at HORACE MANN. (Second-best prep school in the country, $37K/year
My coworker has got to stop saying she taught "in the Bronx,"
Seriously. Everyone knows it is "in da Bronx." Jeez!

My sister went there for kindergarten and first grade. Trying to tell people who don't know NYC about where I lived when I was little is difficult. "In New York. No, not Manhattan, the Bronx. No, that's the South Bronx, we lived in Riverdale. Riverdale is ... well, it's in the Bronx. But ...."
My sister went to public school for second grade, because she hated Horace Mann (other kids teased her for not being rich enough), but the public school down the block from our apartment was the one profiled as the good Bronx school in "Savage Inequalities."
