Cagney only takes food that is offered. I'm strict about that.

His neuroses center around sudden noises and things blowing in the wind, especially black plastic. No idea why. He shies away from anything, especially machinery, left on a sidewalk.

Yesterday, when I was sooo mad at him, he cowered pretty dramatically. My big voice really rocks him back, so I am very careful about using it.

at least some of her neuroticism I think is personality driven

They do have their own personalities. Cortez is fierce and fearless in a big yard away from traffic, but otherwise total fraidy cat. And inside he is very stealthy and methodical about checking on all the Suspicious Objects (i.e. socks, shoes, a book).

Speaking of jury duty, I've been trying to figure out who they are going to get on the Whitey Bulger trial. (They are picking the jury now.) Someone who's willing to be on a four-month trial, who doesn't already think he's guilty??

BK Wednesday people! BK MF Wednesday! And half the office people are giving me the stinkeye and dissing on my BK. no love.

I don't know what I want for lunch. (Not BK.)

I wish I had BK. Instead I have quinoa with spinach and a pear.

::cries::

I need new restaurants near this office, because I'm kind of sick of all my regular places. BK Wednesday sounds delicious.

I have no idea what I'm going to do for lunch today. I'm already hungry for the steak I'm going to have for dinner. Maybe that's the problem.

I'm eating sushi for lunch.

Oh, here's a relevant question: How far do you feel is too far to go for lunch? If you're driving, is a mile the limit? If you're not driving, how long will you spend getting there? Do you calculate it by actual distance or by the time it takes to get there?

All the food joints by me are either real close, or too far. I am reluctant to drive 15 minutes to get lunch. Is that unreasonable?
