I am awake and en route to work because I have meetings from 7:30am to 4:30pm and then a team dinner.

That's a long day. I have dinner with coworkers tonight, but it's honestly just us getting together and not a work thing.
It's my nephew's birthday today. I haven't gotten him anything and I am not entirely sure how old he is. 19? 20? When was he born? Aunt fail.

Grandboss was appalled I don't have a favorite Minion. I've only ever seen the parts of Despicable Me that were on during a brunch at juliana's, and Matilda wasn't explaining that movie to me the way she did Twisted, so I didn't catch much. I may have homework.

Dang. Nephew is 21. That totally snuck up on me.

I don't have a favorite Minion either. They kind of all blend together for me, but I haven't seen the new movie.

I'm not sure what to make of this deal with Iran. I don't especially like how much warning they get with inspections, leaving in place some of their nuclear infrastructure, and easing of the arms embargo. However, having the talks break off without a deal doesn't do anything to stop their nuclear weapons program and I'd worry about Russia and China in particular lifting sanctions and selling arms anyhow. So I guess I'm not trilled, but taking the deal seems better than not taking it. I wish the Republican detractors would explain they would do in place of taking the deal (unilateral sanctions are going to do sh*t), but, practically speaking, there is no political upside to coming up with a alternative.

I don't have much of an opinion on the Iran deal. I'm all upset about Greece, though.

I'm pretty sure it was carpet bombing.

It does seem like implying military action without actually calling for it seems like a popular approach.
I'm all upset about Greece, though.The Greek situation is tragic. More austerity probably isn't going to help their tanked economy and without economic growth the cycle will just continue. Going back to the Drachma would be painful, but I wonder if it might be better in the long run. A debased Drachma might spur more tourism and exports and help regrow the economy. 'course that's awfully easy for me to say when I'm not living in Greece.
