Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think that constitutes a hostile work environment!

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

You guys do know that Batboy, the musical is a thing, right? [link]

And is pretty insistent.

This is what getting old is, isn't it? Noticing these things.

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

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.

Connie, I hadn't realized tomorrow was Pioneer Day. I didn't see any fireworks stands like I did last year.

On the plane, waiting to taxi. I have a 4 week old baby next to me. He is blissfully asleep right now. Even if he cries, I can handle tiny baby cries over screeching toddler screams (a few rows back).
