And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm going on a local garden tour with some friends tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny and mid-70s, which sounds perfect. It's heading up into the 80s next week, so I need to get out and about while it's still pleasant out.

The Kalamazoo thing didn't work out, so I'm back to haunting job postings in the Traverse City area (ideal) and Ann Arbor (also nice, but no lake). While I still like what I'm doing here and now, I kinda hope something comes through so I can get out of here before August. It's unlikely, but that's why I call it a hope and not a solid plan.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

What are these 80 degree days you speak of?

Our wings are not tired.

Dr. Debet! Well done!

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

Congratulations, Dr. Esse! Way to go!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Dr. Esse!

It is so gorgeous, and my grandboss said to leave early, but I asked him to tell my direct boss that, and he said I was on my own there. Ah well.

PS: By "gorgeous," I mean nearly 70 and sunny, not this 80 craziness you people are talking about!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Brava, Dr.Who Esse!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Congratulations, DebetEssePhd!

Because books.

Dr. Esse! How awesome! Can I ask what your doctorate is in?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Thanks, everyone. I'll be heading to the graduation banquet shortly (I'm not going to the actual graduation tomorrow because that thought wearies me).

Tom, I'm not (yet*) a PhD. It's a clinical doctorate in occupational therapy, so my letters are different (OTD)

* Yeah, it's totally gonna happen in the end.
