OK, so opposite of how I felt about the outfit I work for (after them raising the starting pay of people doing my job without raising mine), One of the other things they do is called Camp Noah, a portable day camp experience that goes around to places where natural disasters or other traumatic things happened, focusing on teaching resiliency skills to kids who have been through the wringer. I helped make tie blankets to give to kids the year they went to Sandy Hook. They sent Camp Noah to Ferguson last summer. I am so proud.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's wonderful, WS.

WS, I wish you could be proud AND paid fairly. But that's still wonderful.
Sheryl, I saw Alex Kingston for the first time at DragonCon this year. (I think. Am I right, Dana?) How did you find her?
I'm somewhere over the Northwestern Territories. While Business Class is pretty great, I'm pining for my bed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I think it was the first time she'd been there.
I am awake and resentful, and hoping I'll be able to go back to sleep.

And Jesus Christ, there was an explosion in Manhattan. No one dead, thank god. I am already sick to my stomach thinking about what Trump will say.

Thanks, Scrappy and shrift.

As expected, except I thought he might thump his chest and insist tough guy save us now.

Took a quick look at Camp Noah. Thanks to all who do things to help. It is so important.

Avocado Egg Salad:
Thanks to whatever Buffista exclaimed about the yumminess of this. Maybe Teppy? Finally made some today and it is quite tasty. FL avocados are quite different from the CA varieties, so lighter and sweeter, but yum.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Alex Kingston was a delight two years ago at ECCC. Barrowman was there, too. Crashed her panel. They were wicked.
