Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

It is good that you were able to get care, askye.

Happy birthday to JZ!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, JZ!!

I don't know what I expected, but they took me seriously, took my fears seriously and never made me feel like I was wasting my time or theirs.

I'm so glad. That's a great result.

Happy Birthday JZ!

askye, I take a diuretic for HBP before bed every night and it doesn't wake me up. But it may have taken some getting used to.

Happy birthday, JZ! Always easy to remember, because it is my anniversary.

On reading some of the Supremes: The DOMA decision is limited to couples living in a state that recognizes the marriage. IOW, if a legally married CA couple moves to Utah, they will not get the benefits from the feds. I think I stated otherwise, yesterday.

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

askye, clearly you have a weird-assed ER. GOOD ON YOU.

There's an old friend from krav who keeps endorsing me on LinkedIn for skills I do have--and he'd know because I INTERVIEWED FOR HIS COMPANY and didn't get a job. Yes, it's been five years and I can dredge up bitterness. Is there an endorsement setting of "good enough for other people"?

Happy birthday, JZ.

I have now ascertained that the aggressively loud and repetitive birds are cardinals. (I can hear them over the drone of 2 ACs and 3 fans INSIDE my house.) Wonder how long I'll retain this information.
