You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

That's rough, Kat. May things clear up more smoothly than you expect.

My poor little Molly is sneezing her head off. I guess she must have caught her cold from me, though I've only had a mildly stuffy nose that I thought was sinus/weather-related, not any other cold symptoms.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why am I paying for Amazon Prime? They gave me a guaranteed delivery date of Friday. It's now Saturday afternoon, and the package hasn't been delivered yet. Last item in the tracking thing is from Friday at 1 AM, about three hours away.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It is wet and below 50 outside and I am sorting through old paperwork. I wish our heater worked. Sadface. At least the coffeemaker is working just fine.

What a mess, Kat. I hope it resolves as painlessly as possible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

sinus pressure headache, or maybe just pressure headache - not something normal for me, I want to push my eyes out the other side of my head. and not sure if the headache is causing nausea or if that is something else, but waves of that now. do not want. I think I may need to just go back to bed.

meara, that's a sinus pressure headache. I've had one for three days now. Go back to bed, perhaps with a hot towel across your forehead and eyes.

Me? I'll be over here, browsing for trepanation kits.

I thought my cold was going away yesterday, but I was wrong. Made it through most of the day without the heavy drugs, but am right back on them today. sigh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also having an Irish coffee, as I had to get up early, drive to the East Bay and do fieldwork on the High School baseball fields. Two hours of shoveling dirt into wheelbarrows, hauling it out on the field and raking. Whee!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I would like to report that it's flipping cold outside.
