Well, that's no darn good! I hope you don't need them tonight.

It's this Abbey, -t. [link] Another fine entry by the New Belgium brewing company. I like quite a few of theirs, especially the Fat Tire and the Snapshot, although I haven't liked many of their seasonals.

The FBI has had my fingerprints since I covered a visit to campus by Patricia Nixon as a student newspaper reporter. When I was a newspaper reporter, the paper was getting me Secret Service credentials, and the city editor said to me, "Should I worry about you? They didn't ask how to spell your name."

To which you smile faintly and say quietly, "It's classified."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awesome, Ginger.

I have a beer! And the day off tomorrow! Woot.

I'm not sure how long my fingerprints have been on file, anymore. I had it done to get my secret security clearance in the Navy, and then again every few years to keep it. Never did get my top secret, although I would have needed it for the unit I was transferring to when I got out.

Mmm, that sounds nice, Sail. Fat Tire sounds familiar.

It's not peak allergy season for me, I should be fine. And I've got some claritin lying around if I need it.

That's a great story, Ginger!

I run into weirdness like that with the trip planner, Connie - it's always trying to make me go to Sacramento to transfer when Martinez is one stop from me and in the direction I'm going and an easier transfer point. It's not a smart tool.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm having an anxiety attack. I wish knowing it could make it stop. I guess this means my experiment with going off the Topamax is a failure. Dammit. I wish my cats would stop yowling. I wish my BFF would call me. I wish I wasn't alone. I wish I could stop shaking and crying. There's nothing wrong except this. It's so stupid.

I'm so sorry, Zen.

It's not your fault. And shaking and crying, while not pleasant, are okay things to do.

I hope it passes soon.

We're here, Zen.

Why are your cats yowling?

I'm sorry, Zen. I wish I could be there with you in person.
