How come women's curling uniforms are so boring compared to the men's uniforms?
Curlers are actually birds?
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My trip to the doctor for my sinus ick yielded slight scolding for waiting as long as I did, 10 days of antibiotics, and 6 days of steroids. I already had to stop at the grocery store for a couple of things, so I just stocked up on Steroid Munchie Food (which, in this case, is cheese, GF pretzels, and hummus; I already had cookies at home). I await my burst of steroid productivity. Seriously. I love it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got an on-campus interview at a university on Thursday. My contact there just sent me my schedule, and it includes "lunch" and "dinner" without saying where we'll be going for those. I'm going to email back with a "thanks for the update, looking forward to meeting you" note. Do I mention that I'm vegan? I'm pretty sure most restaurants in that neighborhood would have something vegan on the menu, but if I know where we're going and can look at the menus online, it'll be one less thing for me to worry about. (And I'm going to have a bunch of granola bars and stuff in my bag, just in case, because I pretty much always travel with Larabars.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would, Hil. I mean, if I were planning something, it's information I'd like to have.

How should I phrase it?

OK, I know this is real life and pretty terrible, but I just saw local news that there was an explosion in a ball bearing factory. Does that not sound like the set up to a joke??

Hil, now I'm trying to phrase it, and it does feel weird. I think you really could just say, "By the way, I'm vegan, but should be able to work with any local restaurant"....?
