When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Yeah, I should've gone with flying through Denver. Annoyingly, one of my good friends here flew in to Indy with her gf today (for a wedding this weekend). They just landed. Hrmph.

I wonder if that would have worked better for me than what actually went down, lo these many years ago.

I have a financial guy who I really like. Uri Greenblatt. Who gets us an amazingly good return on an annuity investment. We like him even when we frustrate him with our financial incompetence.

Grace is reading over my shoulder. She pointed to Jesse's name and asked what it was so I said, "Jesse." Then she said why. And I said I don't know. Then she said why again and I asked her why her name was Grace. Which made her say I don't know.

Repeat this same conversation with the name meara.

Now she is asking what I am doing. I said, typing. She said why. And I said because I want to. Her big thing is to answer with because.

I love a communicative Grace.

Man, I'm glad the sun starts coming back tomorrow. Sitting in the office when it's completely dark outside is NO FUN.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Gracie!

I know why my name is Jesse (parents picked it), but not why those letters make those sounds and/or meaning. Although I probably know people who know all of those things!

Hi, Grace! My name is Ginger because I was named for my mother. Her name is Virginia and it would be confusing if we were both called Virginia. She was named for her grandmother. Virginias are named for the colony of Virginia, which was named for Queen Elizabeth. Why wasn't it named Elizabeth Colony? Because.

Many of these questions are more complicated than you'd think. Because.
