Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I'm watching hockey, cleaning occasionally, and attempting to declutter. I'm looking at stuff and asking, "Why do I have that? Would I want to pack that and then unpack that if I moved across the country?"

I'm not sure why I still have 3 1/2 floppy disks, you guys. I also need to do some research on how to get rid of old electronics. And check places for eyeglass donation boxes.

I have a meeting tomorrow with a guy who has a position opening up on his team. It would be really nice if this would be a good fit.

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

If you can maybe get an afternoon of transportation, Best Buy takes things for recycling. Old computers and whatnot. We may possibly have had like five old computers to get rid of in the last move.

Good luck with the meeting. Evaluating whether you would pack up and move your stuff is probably a good exercise whether you are actually considering a move or not.

FTR, that spinach salad + bacon and blue cheese dressing is not bad.

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

Oof. The guy who is playing Jacob Marley lost his wife a couple of months ago in a freak accident. Today after the matinee he posted this:

During the show, the little guy who plays Tiny Tim, wants to tell me something. I bend over and he whispers, "I'm sorry about your wife". I think he had just found out. I say "Thanks pal" and quickly go somewhere where he won't see me cry. Didn't want him to feel bad.

Oh, child. You're sweet, but your timing sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just checked and yes you are! That's so random, how did you and him cross paths?

Via erinaceous, actually!

Oh man, aurelia. That's rough

Oof is right. Poor guy.

Good to know, thanks. I'll have to check that out. I have, like, three computers and a monitor. And an old TiVo.

Yeah, I won't regret getting rid of this stuff even if a move is not imminent. It's all stuff I've procrastinated on because it's a pain in the ass.

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

Fingers crossed that it's a good fit, shrift.

Oh aurelia, that's very sweet in a way. Poor guy.

I would take those off your hands. I still occasionally encounter lighting consoles that use those.
