Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Our wings are not tired.

Woohoo, got WI-FI password! And assigned to the first judge. Moving right along.

Administer that justice!

Are you kink-shaming millennials who have a dirty laundry fetish?

Yeah, I'd be okay with that.

Sorry, Amy. Not fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sorry Amy, shrift. Bah.

I cannot think of 2 people I admire most in history. What a weird question.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a voir dire question?? Are they just looking to bump people who name, like, famous anarchists?? (Not sure who that would be.)

In other news, we have put down our deposits for Kilimanjaro and a safari. Woot! (So much money.) Woot!

Ooh, that's exciting!

It's on the questionnaire, I can't imagine why. Good lord, I must admire some historical figure, why can't I think of any? I can only think of terrible people.

Woo Consuela! Exciting.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The last time I was called for jury duty an off-duty cop waiting to testify noticed me tucked into the cloakroom so I could read, away from the nattering nabobs. He gave me the cop look, the "what nefarious things are you up to?" look. I gave him a lifted eyebrow and a mental "Go 'way, boy, you bother me." He grinned and moseyed on. I was never called. I think the cloakroom walls cloaked my presence.

Amy, your boss is in a cartoon in my head, one of those where I pop her with a bell-muzzled gun and she explodes in a shower of confetti.

Shrift, ugh.

'Suela, how exciting!

You people are distracting. How did my coffee get cold so quick?

I'm googling admirable historical figures.

Good lord, I must admire some historical figure, why can't I think of any?

Ada Lovelace and whoever invented pay-at-the-pump gas pumps.

Why not both? Olga of Kiev

Ok, going with Al Kwarizmi father of algebra and Eratosthenes, who measured of the circumference of the earth.

Based on the questionnaire (other than that question) I think I would make an excellent juror for this case and am unlikely to be selected. We shall see.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How about Abigail Adams?

I am waiting for our new couch and loveseat to arrive. We went with a black leather set that was DEEPLY on sale--boring, but should stand up to our animals.
