They were unbelievably close, but they lost in the end.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Phew. I usually do go for the Ivy to pull off an upset in the first round, but not Harvard against Carolina!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh no, sarameg. That's fucking awful.

Oh sara, I hope that's not the case.
Steph, I thought I should ask which group it was before I said something about hoping the board members would lose interest or grow distracted.

I thought I should ask which group it was before I said something about hoping the board members would lose interest or grow distracted.
Ahahaha! Most of the board members are people without ADD, like parents of kids with ADD, or spouses like me. But there are a couple board members with ADD, like Tim.
Maybe I should try to come up with a shiny distraction...

Hah--I'm awaiting the Georgetown game (It was supposed to start just before 7PM here, now they're saying "in 30 minutes"!!) The game before them just finished--I almost feel bad for "Stephen F Austin", whoever they are, who came REALLY close to beating Utah. But can't root for the underdog in Eastern Washington v Georgetown....the Hoyas tend to lose sadly and earlier than they should, in the tourney...

Remember how I said my aunt wants to bring her kids to Chicago to do a tour of my office? Ha ha, well, I took too long to respond to her email so now things are getting really passive-aggressive now.

I'm friends with her in fb, but the thing is, she always used a pet name for him at work, never his actual name and mostly used fb for family and work, including her ex in laws, so was circumspect.But she's posting pix of a clearly single dad on vacations to places I know she went with her boyfriend and pix are super cuddly. What little she's said has that same 'lost in the shock of grief' with a side of letting go of a life plan I've seen before. And coworkers and just prof friends are picking up her appts since I got the call from the salon. And her boss is subbing all her appts. So.
I hope I'm wrong.
Also, still doing work after 2 bourbon&gingers (well, working on 2nd) and it's all insane.
