Which I do not, because I am in a snit about it.

Oh, this is so me.

Man, I love asking questions that are stupid because I forgot something and the minute you give me piles of financial verbiage, I swear my comprehension and retention just flees. Ah well, got the answer.

Plus Ohio's elected officials need to die in all the fires.

They are as egregious a bunch of asshats as ever rocked a gerrymandered district.

Not that I'm much happier with the NC lawmakers. I should go to the Moral Mondays, where people are protesting various attacks on the poor, the environment, voting rights, etc., but my crowd thing keeps pulling me back. I need to get over it. Or at least find a way to send them pizza.

she finally called me back. She didn't need me after all. She already got the answer. How nice.

I think people do that because they don't want to ask the question unless they know you're going to answer right away, but it still annoys the crap out of me. If you need an answer immediately, call me! And if you don't, just type it and wait!

I love that progressives are calling the protests Moral Mondays. I feel like we always get on the short end of the "doing the right thing" naming things.

As I understand it, a bunch of the organizers are ministers/priests/[your religious title here]. Which might have partially led to the name. It's making it really hard for the opposition to label them hippie commie thugs gathered to do drugs, destroy America, and seduce your teenage offspring. Although the opposition is giving it their best.

I typically IM work folks with a "Hi - do you have a moment" rather than the issue because I never know if that person is sharing their screen with someone else. I don't want to share my questions or whatever with folks other than the intended.

I have been reading the Power of Habit and thinking about trying to replace my lazy sluggish habits with a working out habit. Since we've been back from vacation, I've been very careful about going to the gym and doing something, even when I don't want to. Especially when I don't want to. Then I make sure to reward myself. Yesterday's reward was a jambon sandwich (that IS what they call it) from the local french-ish bakery. Today, I made a thin mint milkshake which I mostly gave to Noah.

I hope I can keep it up.

A few times this week I've answered "How are you?" with "Full of feminist rage, you?" That always catches people a little off guard.

Is it good? How are the reviews?

Reviews should be out today and tomorrow. It's a mix of Mary Zimmerman style and Disney songs which can be odd at times. I think it would help if a known song happened earlier in the show. The music is amazing. All the traditional Indian instruments mixed with the jazz/swing band is tons of fun. I'm hoping they'll put out a soundtrack. Oh, and there is Andre De Shields who brings the house down every night.

Random question:

The french bakery near me has a sandwich board out front heralding, "iced cold drinks" which looks weird. Should it be "ice-cold drinks"? Do they mean the same thing or is their a nuance I'm missing?

I think it's always iced tea, right?
