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

In high school, I saw him in an all-black production of "Guys and Dolls." Which was on its way to Broadway. He played Nathan Detroit and was incredible.im so glad my parents took us to cool stuff.

Weirdly, I always think of Robert Guillaume when I am filing my taxes because of an episode of Benson where he was audited and one of his deductions is the suit he is wearing to the audit. I don't know why that particular scene lodged in my head so securely, but it certainly did.

Today was very long. Tomorrow will also be long, but with fewer exciting new experiences. At least that's the plan.

I'm sure they let you pet the cheetahs, right?
This is what Archer has led me to believe. Or am I thinking of ocelots?

At the San Diego Zoo, I think you can have an up close encounter at the cheetah run with an ocelot. I don't know that you can pet it. Or maybe the animal they offered the day we were there was an ocelot.

Ooh.

I tried to make getting to rehearsal after work easier by parking at a different bus stop this morning, only to be told by NextBus once I got there that the schedule has changed and if I waited for the bus I would be late to work. So I drove in and am an hour early instead. Yay?

Made it. Why so much paper, Accounting?

And now, stapling.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh on Webex about Benefits for 2018. We are losing LOTS this coming year.

No more HCA (which paid HALF our deductible). I think plans got reduced, so the employee +1 which I was on is gone and I now must do family which is DOUBLE the employee plan. I think what I had been on was between those two, I will have to check.

Drug coverage went up.

% of the health plan that we cover went up.

Ugh msbelle. I'm so sorry. What a mess.

Good thing health care is competitive and ruled by the market so you have all these choices! Oh wait, not you, your employer. Forgot who was important for a second.
