I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hi, Nilly.

The woman who made me so mad on NPR last week continued to be an an idiot this morning.

"The only people really who are having an issue with [the video of Trump] are the Hillary people and the traitor Republicans such as Rob Portman, John McCain, Jeff Flake, all those people are the ones who are having the issues with this ... I've been to bachelorette parties that I've heard women talk about things. ... I mean, men talk about those things. It's just, that's the way it is."

I just flew through the remnants of Matthew on a 40-seat plane. It was a little bumpy, but not as bad as one would imagine. My only problem with turbulence is that I'm easy motion-sick. And the landing was incredibly smooth.

Today would have been fine if it weren't for my seat-mate who was reeking of cologne and booze. At first I thought he was just hungover, but once the beer burps started, I realized he was drunk. His behaviour was fine. He was polite and mostly sleeping, but the smell of him almost did me in. I had to have the blower going and leaned forward into it, so I couldn't smell him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Sue. Had a good Thanksgiving, at least?

Love you, Nilly! Let us know how you and the fam are in Delurking?

I posted this elsewhere, but sure, k, fine, say that IS what men talk about in a locker room. The walking dumpster fire had a mic on. It was not the first time he had ever had a mic. Saying things like that with a mic, even if you don't know if it is on, is the height of stupidity. I'm actually shocked that he hasn't complained about THAT mic.

Yeah it was nice. I ate just enough to be full, but not uncomfortably full. I call that a win!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Hi, Nilly! We miss you when you're not here, but our lives are better with you in it, so there's that.

Okay. I have requested coverage while I'm out of office, ordered foreign currency and got a small corporate discount, and I think I got a prescription renewal approved without having to go to the doctor's office. I think I'm making pretty good progress on my To Do list. It's probably foolish to say that. Did I just jinx myself?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I saw that earlier and lost it. What magnificent nerds.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hi Nilly! It's always so lovely to see your pixels. And I love your Yom Kippur posts, as they remind me that, even though I don't follow your faith, some regular soul searching would be a wise thing for me, too.
