Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a shame that I don't have any spare money, but a Birther friend has his own birthday today, and I'm soooo tempted to get him the mug with the long-form birth certificate on it.

I mean, it's nice and everything, and obviously philanthropy is my job and pays my salary, but: UGH, the WORLD.
Relatedly, some people want to protest our board meeting tomorrow, over a controversial board member. I can't help but believe there won't actually be many people who come, since it's such a hassle to get here. But fingers crossed.
