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.

So tonight I congratulated a former neighbor who is the ex of a former original neighbor, where I was the catalyst for them to realize they had feels, but it didn't work after 7 years...oh, where was I? Oh, she had a baby girl as a single mom, thanks science (worried that would be a deal breaker for them, was sadly right..) And the most my neighborhood thing was seeing her ex and ex's prior roommate also congratulating & wishing well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hey, I just realized that I made it through today without being sexually harassed! Very exciting.

aurelia, that sets a low bar for a good day. But I hope you have more of them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I saw a real-life "Squirrel!" moment on the way to work this morning. The dog was totally doing its own thing and then suddenly FREAKED OUT and tried to go running after the squirrel. It even kind of looked like the dog from Up. (Which I have never actually seen.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We are at Dragoncon. Someone just knocked on the door, even though the Do Not Disturb sign is out. I figured it was one of our friends.
It was a woman I've never seen before, very put together (not wearing a geeky t-shirt or wings or whatever), who said she was looking for her mother. The queen of England.
She was really lucky we were already awake.

Punishingly Intricate
She thought her mother is the Queen of England?

Not a clue. I was waiting for her to laugh, like it was some strange joke, but she did not.
Since this is Dragoncon, it's possible her mother is in costume as the Queen. Any Queen of England.

information libertarian
We have a regular patron at the library who once had an audible conversation with herself in which she asserted that her mother is the Queen of England. The patron is a middle-aged black woman.

Librarian Warlord
We had a library patron in Berkeley who told us (repeatedly) that he was Lord Mountbatten's grandson. We started asking who his mother was.
