The Denver airport has a Ben and Jerry's. At least, the terminal I flew through does.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I imagine Matt struggling through the snow-covered mountains, glaring at his unpleasant but well-fleshed seatmate, while Dana rigs up a complicated system of trebuchets and rockets to get him some Ben&Jerry's by direct air delivery to save him from resorting to long pork.

Well, the Ben and Jerry's is on the second level.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, Matt -- good luck!
I got my flu shot, and it was so fast! I swear last year I waited more than an hour. Today? In and out in 15 minutes.

In truth I wasn't hurting for decent dinner options at the Denver airport, so my disappointment at not eating in Memphis is muted. Settled on some garlic shrimp at a City Wok kiosk that I wouldn't have minded having at a restaurant with tablecloths for half again the price, and there was a Wolfgang Puck's and a wine lounge with lamb meatballs and ahi tuna & seaweed if I'd felt the need to splurge.
My seatmate on the flight in was quiet, slept 95% of the time, and had no discernible odor. Pretty much my only complaint is that he zonked out with his head covering most of the window the Grand Canyon was visible through, and I'll gladly trade the view for not having to make 3 hours of awkward conversation in this election season.

Our wings are not tired.
Success! I had a whole bunch of family and friends over to see a visiting family member. Although I knew several were on the other side I left my lawn sign in place and wore one of my Hillary t-shirts. Not a single Trumpster acknowledged it, support from a few. And my dear friend came in, gave me a hug and kiss, said "hate the shirt", and didn't mention it again.

Sounds like a good escape, Matt!!
I had a doctors appointment that involved about half an hour of waiting for a two minute appointment. Ah well. Worse was the smelly and gross people on the bus ride to and from the doctors.
Got home and baked cupcakes, then realized it was only like 5pm. So cleaned so my roommate could make the cake she wanted to (which she's doing now...really hoping she cleans up). Now thinking I will go to bed early so that tomorrow will be here sooner.

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.
Partway through today I closed the tab with Facebook open and decided it was better for my mental health if I didn't look again untit alfter tomorrow. I keep feeling tempted and then I remember what is waiting for me there.

I have made my decision on all those damn propositions.Take that out of control grassroots democratic process! I think I will go vote before work because I can.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I got sucked into reading some of the exchanges a few of you had on FB with some completely deluded people. I came close to responding to one (to "I'm just stating facts" I wanted to say, "No, you're really not.") but instead I went walked to the grocery store to get ingredients for a slow cooker pumpkin, chickpea, and red lentil curry and caught Pokemonsters on the way. When I got home I put in a load of laundry in the hopes that I can make my shelf-stained sweater white again to wear tomorrow.
