I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We don't have anyone in Minneapolis, do we? I guess I'm going for work in a couple of weeks.

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

That sounds sensible, Sparky.

Pixie just stood in the living room yowling until I came to ask her what was wrong and then trotted down the hall to the bedroom and pointedly told me to go back to sleep. Don't tempt me, cat!

And, ha, I completely forgot to add the green onions to my shrimp. So much for buying something I needed at the farmers' market.

The SCOTUS hands down opinions again today at 10 a.m. Jim Obergefell is in the courtroom, but he's been there every possible day, so it doesn't mean they'll hand that opinion down today. I just note it because as much as I have been waiting for this opinion to come down, I can't imagine what it must mean to him.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Jim Obergefell is in the courtroom

I want the SCOTUS to rule in favor of marriage equality no matter what, but Jim Obergefell is from Cincinnati, so that connection makes it even more poignant for me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Daniel and I are an hour south of Minneapolis. I think there was a semi-lurker actually in the city, but I don't remember the person's name.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope things are going/went well, Sue!

Well, after looking at flights, I guess I'll wave at you from slightly nearby, as it looks like I won't have any time for fun! I was hoping to get in the night before in time for dinner, but I think I'll just arrive late, have a meeting the next day, and leave. Good times.

Thanks guys. I did okay, but I don't feel I shined. Even though I did work on them, behavioral questions seem to be a weakness of mine.

Also at one point they asked me to describe a project that I was working on and halfway through the answer, I was thinking, this is a dumb example.
