In other fuck cancer news, my cousin has found out his liver cancer is recurring after two years in cancer-free remission. I believe this is his fourth bout with cancer (the first was an unconnected brain tumor that messed up his sight in one eye), and he'll be going in for an ablation to deal with it soon. Any spare health~ma sent his way would be greatly appreciated.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Oh Matt, that's terrible!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Universe, stop giving my friends crappy days, please. Thank you.
Oh mac, please get your head screwed on straight.
Matt, all the health~ma to your friend.
This shouldn't be so difficult, but I'm waffling on what to do. I have to be in Columbus on Wednesday for a 2:30 pm meeting. It's a six-hour drive, boss said fly, but now I don't know if I should get up at the ass-crack of dawn to leave at 6 am to land at 11:20 am that day or fly in the night before.

I always fly in the night before because getting up to be at the airport by 5am for a 6am flight means I'm a zombie all day.

Thanks, meara. That's what I was thinking, but I'm incapable of reasoning properly today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, if you have that choice, it seems like a much better option.

Our wings are not tired.
Maria, go the night before.
I inherited a porch cat when I bought this place. He has his food, water, toys, and a heated mat on his private couch all on my porch.
Yesterday I watched (via Dropcam) a new neighbor's black cat come up and totally do a Goldilocks! Black cat ate Romeo's food, drank his water, slept for two hours on his heated mat, and played with every single toy (way more than Romeo). Am still laughing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maria, agree with go the night before. If your flight is delayed, you still have options.

These RFPs are eating away my ability to do anything except price and write RFP-speak. Thanks, all.
So, anyone want to get dinner in Columbus next Tuesday?
