Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Sheryl, not fun when they are so little. At least they seem to often get well as quickly as they get sick. I hope he is completely well quickly.

Texas was showing about a 5 point spread in June and he has alienated a bunch more people since then, so who knows. There is a significant % of voters in the hate Trump groups - 32% Hispanic.

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

Timelies all!

The little guy has been discharged from the hospital and is now causing mischief at home. We'll keep him home from daycare a couple of days, and bring him to the pediatrician for a followup.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good to hear, Sheryl.

Can I get some generic mood~ma please? Yesterday I went down to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday, which went OK, I guess, but this morning I'm really feeling blah, plus my analyst is away next week because that's what analysts do in August, plus I'm fighting off a summer cold.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, that's a lot of blah, Tom. I hope you feel better.

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

I can't see Texas going blue unless there's a big enough Johnson contingent to spoil the R vote.

California is the land of no political commercials ever. Too expensive I guess? Even Brown ran some sort of Zen-like stealth campaign: zero ads, just watch Meg Whitman implode and win by a landslide.

Sorry about the blahs, Tom

Non~blah~ma, Tom.

Had a delightful beach front lunch with Pix and Drew. Now I don't have to eat the rest of the day. Not used to eating so much at once so I am really overstuffed. We are total screw ups however because we neglected to get a single picture. Too busy enjoying the company and scenery.

Watching a lot of random Olympics...but also flipped past and saw "The Faculty" is on--it has a shocking number of people in it! In addition of course to my favorite, Clea DuVall--I'd forgotten that not only does it also have Jordanna Brewster (another fave), it has Bebe Neuwirth, Famke Janssen, Salma Hayek, Usher, Jon Steward, Elijah Wood, and a few others. Huh.

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

I saw that in the theater because of the cast, I think. Do not remember a thing about the plot or anything, though.

Mood~ma, Tom.

I finally got a thing done that I had hoped to accomplish yesterday afternoon. Yay? Now to reprioritize my tasks for the rest of today to be somewhat realistic...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Went for a long hike in the woods, ate lunch, and put new sheets on the bed. That's enough for today, right? Oh, wait, no, I have to vacuum. And make biscuits.
