Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I would have thought you'd have jumped at the Secretary set simply for the fun of the Gyllenhall reference, although I'd have to go Schoolteacher myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anne, I was way behind here when I sent me e-mails. Feel free to ignore them.

Beth, all the random healthma.

My sister says she can think of maybe ten people who didn't get/don't have chigunya. My immediate family is on the list.

I'm sure there are a lot of false positives, but she says she's never seen the like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just got an email where I have to explain the impact $50K will have on a $60M budget. Uggghhhhh.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"Very little"?

I have to do better than that. I'm thinking critical supplies. You know, like office paper.

A pallet of gloves. Or bleach.

I actually think we're hoping to get the gloves and bleach from the Feds.

A party, now that's an idea!

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

Steph, I vote Schoolteacher. Because you'd get to look severe at least once.

Party at Jesse's!!!!

Done baking. Finally. Final tally - 24 ginger spice cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with chopped crystallized ginger, 12 yellow cupcakes decorated like cookie monster with blue butter cream icing, eyes, and a cookie, 6 yellow cupcakes decorated with blue flowers, 6 yellow cupcakes decorated with a basket-weave pattern (had too much blue left over after cookie monster), and a 3 layer, 6" strawberry cake with chocolate butter cream icing and fresh strawberry filling topped with three strawberries.

Exhausted. We meet at the venue at 10 to start set-up and the event starts at 5:30.
