All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why do people not understand not to reply all?

The entire cast and orchestra of The Jungle Book wished each other Happy New Year by using reply all on a performance report. It went on for days.

I'm not saying I'd swap with Chiberia Chicago, you understand. Just that I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

I might consider a swap. Although my battery operated socks just arrived today.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, and get this: my mother-in-law decided that today was the perfect day to travel into the city with Biyi to buy some new luggage. By train. By train-and-then-bus-and-then-train-again. And then back.

I'm working from home today. I insisted that I at least pick them up from the station where they'd have caught the bus. (Biyi at least needed no persuading.)

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

I won't complain about the unseasonably mild but rainy weather. Dreary, to be sure.

Pumpkin is about as enthused as I am about getting up in the morning. She stays curled up on the pillows a good 5 minutes after I'm up and about, cracking just one sleepy eye at me. It amuses me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a hard time getting up, after waking up at 5 and going back to sleep, but then was in a panic about being late, so I'm at work even earlier than usual. I guess that's fine?

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

I've been reading about the heat in Australia in coverage of the Australian Open. They're cooling players down with ice vests.

Oh msbelle, I've been there.

My kids are motivated by minecraft. They got ready for school without a fight on the condition they can play minecraft for 5 minutes. Win-win? Or is that just capitulation?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like win win to me, Burrell.

You guys, I want to make buttermilk biscuits constantly until I get really good at it. That is reasonable, right?

I wholeheartedly endorse this plan. I am thinking about making butter in part so I can always have buttermilk.

'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"

The difference between a bribe and positive reinforcement is sometimes very subtle.
