Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That vid of Sean Bean's onscreen deaths needs updated by now--there've been more since it was put together.

It is cooler today. Thank jeebus.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Just back from the dentist, for my regular cleaning. That part was unpleasant (though Grace offered to go with me and hold my hand, since I do that for her and she knows I hate the dentist and she wanted to help), but when she pulled my crown out? That was bad. And the fact that I need a new crown? Also bad.

THIS is why I avoid the dentist.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beverly,

you are brilliant. I love the straw idea.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So we'll have to figure something out there.

Liese, try Hybrid Athlete for training plans that don't require a gym. Here's a free 6-week plan. [link]

All of the rest of their plans are pay what you want. [link]

Full disclosure: I know Joe, one of the founders, and other individuals involved in HA.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We're thinking about investing in equipment. Since either of the (not great option) gyms are still a good half hour away, I don't know if we'd actually get in there.

Even if you do, these still work well when you're on the road. Hotel fitness facilities are notorious crap shoots.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm supposed to get a call from a nurse there to 'discuss options' so we'll see. I'd almost volunteer for a gastric feeding tube at this point, better a few gaggy moments that minutes and minutes of trying to get foulness down.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Theo,

I understand. I would appreciate you reporting back. I have colon cancer that potentially runs in my family (my grandmother had a bad run of it), and I should have another but I've been avoiding the medical drinking abuse.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This made me laugh a lot.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

So my dad came to visit me at my office yesterday, and while he was here he met my boss, a Southern gentleman in or around his 60s. Today my boss walks by my cubicle and says to me, in passing, "Your daddy's kind of cute!"

That... is really not what I was expecting to hear him say!
