So concerned for all the people, including Buffistas, in the path of the fires. I can only imagine how nerve wrecking it must be. Wishes for breathable air and favorable weather. We may get hurricanes, but we get lots of warning and they don't move so quickly.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Come on, you guys -- who among us hasn't spent $10 million on booze, women, and movies???
Does it count if I'm the woman I'm spending it on?

2018 resolution: Spend more money on booze, women, and movies!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I like that resolution.
I would try that too, but I'm starting to think that some kinds of booze are migraine triggers. I haven't wanted to experiment too much, but I'm currently leery of red wine, beer, and whiskey :( and seem to be okay with white wine and tequila.

I have been wanting to see more movies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does it count if I'm the woman I'm spending it on?
I vote yes.

Today at work I was asked (along with about 40 office staff) to essentially improve a rowdy town hall scene. We were even assigned to be either for or against the speaker. That may be the most absurd thing I've ever known of a director to do in preparation for a design meeting.

Are you to express your assigned partisan feeling via light design?
I am confused.

I think he was using the staff in real space instead of moving little people and chairs around on the model. We were merely bodies. It seemed like he was trying to figure out staging for a scene, probably for scenic and costume reasons. I'm sure this was a time saver for him, but not so efficient for the organization as a whole. The part I didn't understand was why the improv was necessary. We went through 3 topics in our improv. The first was a riff on "booze, women, and movies", the second involved the speaker's Chicago born & raised children's obligation to like hot dogs, and the third was mostly just complaining about the CTA red line.
