Oh, wow! I was just thinking about him, without really knowing anything about him or even remembering his name, just kind of wondering.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Milliliters/day is approximately equal to fluid ounces/month.
My big question for right now appears to be wine and then Diet Coke or Diet Coke and then wine? Maybe wine today and Diet Coke tomorrow. You're re-thinking whether you missed me while I was offline, aren't you?

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Mid-west earthquakes are always surprising. I was in Memphis years ago where their was a small one caused by the New Madrid fault.
I'm posting a plea fro a bit of help from the Chicagoistas, if they're willing:
My daughter is finally scraping up the courage to make major changes in her life. She's going to be sending out her resume to salons in the Chicago area, so she's looking for reasonable digs in various areas that she finds acceptable with price, lifestyle, and safety. I'm hoping my Chicagoistas can give me a little advice on the following areas as to those criteria. This is the gist of what she copy and pasted into a text message, so the punctuation leaves a little to be desired:
Near south side has lots of condos. Affordable near museum park West town. Young and music hippy. Prices on the rise North center. Lots for adult entertainment. Near west side. Second most amenities.
If you can decipher that and possibly specify various neighborhoods, it would be greatly appreciated. She's hoping to keep expenses down, but thinks she could handle $1600/month. She'll be sharing with a cousin and they'd even do the one bedroom, make the living room the other, if that's what it takes. Alexia is at the top of her profession (she's completely outgrown the salon she's in and she's their best) and is currently bringing home $60-70k a year; I'm thinking she can probably make quite a bit more in the better salons in and around Chicago.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, fun!
Random: The recent passing of Gene Wilder reminded me that Zoe's vet played Charlie in the movie Willy Wonka & and the Chocolate Factory.
Also fun!
Not fun: best thoughts to your family, Cindy.

Fingers crossed for your FIL Cindy, that's a rough situation to be in.
My parents' 55th anniversary dinner turned out well last night. Not quite without a hitch, the pork tenderloin entree was too tough for Dad to eat, but fortunately I had a very yummy cake made for the occasion that ensured no one left hungry. They had a great time, and loved the restaurant and the staff there.
