It so different today even from when I was in the Navy.

It's amazing to me that my brother could Skype with the kids while he was in Afghanistan. On the other hand, my dad was stationed in Scotland in '65 and '66, and I guess he and my mom relied on letters.

Oh, and then return the 'defective' equipment to the contractors.

HA.

Sara and I just made a successful chocolate mug cake. This could be dangerous.

Wow, SA, that's so interesting! Go you.

Couple of my co-workers took me out to dinner and it was just delightful. I got to take people I like to a new restaurant I like and have them be amazed at how good the food was, and eat delicious food myself. A whole bunch of wins all around.

Did I mention the chocolate-filled beignets last time I had them? So good. And now I've had candy cap mushroom bread pudding, which is unbelievable.

And I feel like I've been out scandalously late because I walked home in the dark, but primetime hasn't even started. Time, man. So weird.

-t, that sounds like a lovely way to spend a birthday. I'm glad you had a good time.

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

Happy birthday, -t. It sounds like it's been lovely.

Chocolate mug cake is INCREDIBLY dangerous. But amazing.

Mug cakes are awesome. I have a recipe for a s'mores mug cake that I lurves. I try to cram as many marshmallows on top as I can.

Oh god, Sail, I did not need to know that.

It totally hit the spot, though! We were both craving some kind of dessert, snd voils.

Of course, I was also making the cake in -t's honor.

Good job, Amy!
