Maybe I should just resign myself to not being able to swim until the weekend, when I can swim in the morning before these afternoon storms start...well, there is always tomorrow.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Are you telling the full truth, that Iceland's trolls tried to eat you? Or just going with "Oh, I fell down a volcano on vacation".
When I walked up to the desk, the manager called to me, "I'd hate to see the other guy!" I replied, "The other guy was a mountain," and he laughed and I told the abbreviated version. The man driving the shuttle came up and asked me what happened, and I told him I lost an argument with a mountain, and the manager gleefully said "A volcano! " Iceland seems to be a GoT fantasy place of ice and snow in most peoples' minds. I get cred just for going hiking there, bonus points for breaking off a body part.
I'm just waiting for him to get here and discover that the entire website is in an outdated version of Sharepoint.
AHAHA oh god. Are you going to try to warn them or just bask in their consternation?
Jesus, I'm at baggage claim and there's two breaking news stories about Trump.
What? Fuck, I was only gone an hour! *runs to Twitter*

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is this the "Trump is even more of an international embarrassment that we thought" stuff?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The Ontario Science Center was our destination today. We let Mr. S run around the kids area for a while, which we thought would burn off some of his energy. Not enough apparently, as he's getting into everything in our room.

Ooh. Mueller has set up a grand jury and is issuing subpoenas regarding the Russian thing.

He had a grand jury in VA for Flynn, so this is a second grand jury which seems to imply larger scope.
Ooop.

And there's a bill in Congress that would make it impossible to fire Muller.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It was the grand jury thing. I saw the transcripts before I left.
I have made it to the hotel. Storms closed the airport in Chicago for a bit, so we circled and the pilot freaked us all out about possibly not having enough gas. But we landed on time. Then we had to wait almost an hour for the bags because it wasn't safe to unload them. Then there was insane traffic on what is normally a 10-minute shuttle ride. I had breakfast at 9:30 and no lunch, which was a mistake on my part. My back hurts. shrift is delayed.
I ordered me a damn quesadilla from room service.
