My stylist chortles with glee while she's cutting, even if it didn't suit me so well I don't know that I'd change it. But it does, so I will probably have this cut until she wants to do something different.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

my Amsterdam-Eclipse-Iceland trip with Lee
Find a tree or something that cuts the light into leetle pieces en mass (like if you've got trees with leaves.) Other than the weirdlight shadows of eclipses and seeing the stars come out on a sky of a color you never see but for eclipse... One of my favorite bits. A gazillion mini eclipsed Suns on your skin.
Ok, the whole thing is my favorite part.
And I just got a pang, because there is a 2017 US eclipse that will cross my late uncle's childhood farm. We were planning to make it a family reunion. :/

You guys, look at this email I got from my new boss.
And I very much appreciate all that you are doing the lead / coach this team. I can really tell by the way Brian and Chris conduct themselves, that you had a lot of influence over that. There’s a lot of integrity there, and it’s evident.
Being a good manager and mentor is really important to me, and this has me a little verklempt.

That's awesome! Good job, brenda!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I have Neti Potted and don't actually feel any better, but I guess it will help in the long run? I'd never done it before; too many unpleasant memories of sniffing salt water up my nose as a kid (my mom's home remedy for stuffy noses). But this wasn't as bad as I had feared. So that's something.
I also have antibiotics and am about to take more Tylenol and crawl into bed. God, I really hope this pain has diminished by tomorrow morning. This is no fun.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hi folks, didn't mean to be MIA just having a hard time making time for the computer. So not my usual MO but something about taking care of the kids these days leaves me little time for anything else. On the plus side, the kids seem to thrive when I bust my ass for them.
Many thoughts for you, Amy, I hope things work themselves out soon.
And the same for you, ita. I wish I could help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey Burrell!
Being a good manager and mentor is really important to me, and this has me a little verklempt.
That's so great!

That's great Brenda. My bosses who were also good mentors are the ones I will be grateful to forever.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
my Amsterdam-Eclipse-Iceland trip with Lee
Oh, man, that'll be a great trip! I'm looking forward to all your photos and trip stories! My BF Katie and I were thinking of going, but the timing just isn't right. (read: we're broke.)
Kate, I hope you feel better quick. Saline water can work magic on suffering sinuses.
brenda, that's wonderful! Nice and well-deserved ego boost.
I am having a bad day. Slogging through it, hoping tomorrow will be better.

A gazillion mini eclipsed Suns on your skin.
I've seen that with partial and annular eclipses, and loved it! I will have to remember to look for trees or something...I did learn how to mimic the effect on a small scale with interlaced fingers during this last partial, so there's always that.
Way to go, brenda, that's wonderful!
