I noted last week that I was bummed our Search and Rescue holiday party was cancelled in honor of the victims of the shooting. I found out today that one of the teachers that died was a cousin of one of our sargents. Ok, I understand better now.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

So my son's karate teacher, Master Davis, a black woman in probably her mid-40s, turns out to be named Terrell. Just like [link] . I find this very very funny for no real reason.
Also, I am in full-on Bah Humbug Christmas mode. I don't have to worry about food on Christmas Eve, because my in-laws have changed their plans and aren't coming until Christmas afternoon. They don't even seem to realize they are missing the best part (Christmas Eve and morning with their grandchildren.) I have no idea how I am not going to sulk when they do bother to turn up. (What are they doing instead? Going to my SIL's, the way they always do - this year was finally going to be our turn for the first time ever.) BAH.

Ah. I was confused about that but I get it. So sorry for them.

OK, all packed and swum. Need to eat something sometime today, I guess.... I've got my free drink coupons!
So far, my flights are on schedule, but it's a direct, probably coming from the NE, not midwest.
Need to make a stop on the way, so shutting down here. See y'all later.

flea, I don't know your SiL, or your in-laws, but it sounds like someone laid a guilt trip on them. That was my SiL's technique every year. She used to brag about it. Now that the kids are grown-up and everyone meets at my daughter's for Christmas, I don't feel the need to slap the SiL across the face every time I see her.
Man, you know the snowstorm is getting bad when only two out of the four weather cameras on campus are working. All four were working earlier today.
edited for clarity. Proper pronouns help.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just got back from lunch. It's already almost too windy to use an umbrella.
Still just rain so far.

I just back from knitting and it's starting to hail here. Quite a bit windier and that wind is chilly.

BTW, I recommend today's Brothers Grimm related Google doodle. Particularly for the knitters amongst us.

Looks like we're not going to see blizzard action until well after rush hour.
ION, this had me LOLing:
George Takei Congratulates You For Coming Out as Gay to Your Family
For a low fee, Conan show’s Andy Richter and his friends will come to your holiday dinner and out you as gay to your family. For just $1.95 more, George Takei will come congratulate you on being gay and welcome you to the “wonderful world of gay.”
If it's possible, I love Takei even more.
