I am sorry, Sue. I mean, delighted that you finally got to Ireland after all the flight issues, but sorry that your fears about your mother calling are realized. I hope your sisters are able to assure her of your safe travels.

Heading to Boston for Boskone tomorrow.

I had to Google, but that really sounds like fun, as do many of your adventures!

I sent them a message on FB already, which is how they got in touch with me.

Jesse -- wouldn't you just say that he's a hound?

I wouldn't actually have a dog, but I do think I could get caught up in the word coonhound.

I am perilously close to becoming obsessed with the New York Times Teslagate issue. (You can work back from here if you're interested. [link] )

In continuing crappy news today, I just read that Alyson Hannigan has been receiving death threats.

I forgot to mention I saw Mr. Hannigan at brunch the other day at BLD. He was wearing a straw hat and with many women not his lady. (I cast no aspersions by this observation.)

Sue, sorry about the family drama. I hope you are having a wonderful time on your trip.

How awful.

I just caught up on the three most recent episodes of Revenge, and I was not impressed. I can't tell if it has just gone downhill or if Scandal has just raised the bar on cracktastic primetime soaps so high that it just can't compare.

sj,

it has gone downhill, but tell me you didn't gasp at the end of this week's episode.

No gasp. I was expecting something bad to happen the minute they got on the boat. Do you think it is going to sink soon? Last season the got back around to the events from the premiere in February, right? I figure he is going to be the one to sink on the boat and not anyone we care about.

Wait, did I never watch this week's episode? Or did I literally just stop paying attention. Will have to figure that out tomorrow.
