I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mother effers. I just spend an hour and a half working on a thing that I thought was on my plate only to hear, "Oh, that other person re-worked it and gave it to Bigwig for his review, so maybe hold off for now." I wouldn't have done anything if I had known that!

On the other hand, my coworker just shared this recipe with me, and look how perfect it is! It calls for freezing the cookie dough before baking, so then you can just bake one or five at a time!. [link]

The recent "best chocolate chip cookie" from Kenji Lopez-Alt, I made a couple times, and did that, made balls and then froze them. I did make a small batch using the frozen dough, one day. And the other days I just ate the frozen dough. Oops.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S is in bed. Wrangling him seems to get tougher each day.

Dates are locked down for this expedition. They have recommended their private travel agent to book our flights, at a cost of $150 per person. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it: do travel agents really get better flights or better prices than online systems like Kayak do? (I have given up on Google Flights, they seem to get entirely different, and more expensive, flights than Kayak does.)

Using their agent will probably make connections smoother it's possible they might get a block rate or something for savings, but I don't know the reality of that.

Jury selection continued to Monday. Like 6 dismissals so far, I'm just in the pool, don't know what that means for Monday.
