Timelies all!
Tomorrow we head to Pittsburgh for Confluence. Tonight we pack.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Ann, that's a ferret.
Was it here someone was lamenting the demise of WordPerfect? 'cause I had someone this morning inquire if we had legal document forms in WordPerfect ... a lawyer, of course (not to disparage lawyers (this time) but because they seem to be the last one clinging to WP.
I hadn't said anything, but I preferred WP. The Department of Justice was still using WP when I was still litigating, but I transferred out of that role in 2005.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have this headache if I'd gotten to swim. Grumble.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Pretty much sitting in a multihours long path of thunderstorms.
If they're the ones we had this morning, they're a doozy.
Love,
Ohio

There was a window, but I missed it. Damned me not being a perfect meteorologist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, New Englandish people, I have a friend who will be driving from VA to Maine next week, unfortunately because her mother has gone into hospice. She's looking for a couch to crash on to break up the trip, so she doesn't have to do the whole 12 hours in a day, and she can't afford a hotel. Anyone in the NY area who could help? Or in the CT area?
I vouch for her absolutely -- known her almost 20 years. She'll be very low maintenance and grateful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm only a couple of hours out of Portland, but do have a spare room, if she's OK with cats.
ION, I solicited submissions for the Good Stuff, and of course someone immediately submitted something I don't want to post! (That Make-a-wish garbage truck kid. I'm randomly anti Make-a-wish.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think that's probably close enough to her destination that she'd just keep going, but I'll check with her. Thanks, Jesse.

Yeah, she really would rather have something New York-ish.

Ok, this is a traditional military rallying speech, but between it and the USA chants, I find it kinda unsettling. Not my kind of thing. OTOH, hits another base.
