Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Navy Hero!

I think I may have conquered my fly problem! I'll know in a week or so. But no more new flies in the basement and the only one today was a smashed one that fell out of the blinds.

I think I need to lighten up my corn consumption. I've been having a corn & tomato salad for lunch every day and it's proving just a wee bit too...efficient, shall we say. But so good & filling.

I think that constitutes a hostile work environment!

Not being allowed to pick up a tiny kitten? Or the threat of being picked up?

That would wonderful, PMM! I'll see what I can do.

Good point, sarameg. Very good point. (The rabbit point, no comment on the corn. I don't hardly eat corn anymore, for unrelated-to-that-particular-issue reasons)

I did know about Batboy the musical!

Oh, hey, the Amtrak app will finally let me book a round trip that returns the same day as departure. That was a much needed improvement.

Is it wrong to take the train to a Ren Faire? Feels a little wrong. But shouldn't be worse than driving.

Is there a horse-drawn wagon available?

And Lookingglass Theatre did a musical about the Eastland sinking in the Chicago river. [link] It was really kind of wonderful.

Not, I think, the whole way.
