I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is true! And it's not like all-hands-on-deck-crisis.

Do stuff, meara! Or don't, I'm in no position to be motivating anyone.

Is "freelance Classics librarian" secret code for "Watcher"?

PLEASE SAY YES.

Ok, I just looked up our house in the City Directories, to see who lived in it before the family we bought it from. In 1918, and 1927-28, the A. B---- family lived in the house. According to the 1920 census, the family had 2 sons, Alfred and Philip. (By 1930 they'd moved to a house on a nearby street.) Here's the thing - we know a B--- family with roots in Cincinnati! We shared a nanny with them when we lived in NC. The dad's father is named Philip - wrong age to be the Philip who lived in our house, but if it's not the same family I'll eat my hat. I'm guessing those boys from 1920 are the grandfather and great-uncle of the Mr. B---- we know. Wild!

There's nothing quite like the feels engendered by turning on a computer and getting the boot screen.

I think it's new computer time. I'm trying to shop, but the combination of my notebook computer and my home wifi is verrry sloooow for some reason. It looks like I can get more computer for my money in a laptop, which seems wrong.

Oooh, flea would make an excellent Watcher. Aside from the concussions.

Surely a buffista would have the good sense to wear a bike helmet when out and about in pursuing that vocation?

I did not order something and totally forget about it! Turns out my package was a little gift from a team event that I didn't get to attend, but it didn't fit into my inter-office mail slot.

Now I feel like I need to buy myself something.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Some lady from Cincinnati emailed work asking if we could send her kudzu seeds, since she'd read online that we have some on the property. I had to double check the date to make sure it wasn't April 1. Boss is replying to her, which is good, because otherwise she'd be getting macros of Cousin It looking landscapes with lolspeak captions.
