Done - $257 two one-way tickets, two different airlines, but no spirit and no alternate airports. I gained a bit of time on my arrival day, but could not avoid an 11pm return time. ugh. might do a car park at the airport to save the father from picking me up that late.

I'd rather get flung from a trebuchet in a 30 year old school bus than fly Spirit. Good choice using other airlines.

What days?

It's for college reunion, Tom, so I'll be up on the UWS (fair warning). But I get in 5/29 and I leave 6/4.

I'm watching a British show on selling houses, and the host gives a group of sellers ideas on moving their properties. One thing I've never understood is why houses have to be decorated and look lived in. The host said "And buyers can see what to use the rooms for." Is it that hard to see a room near the front of the house, not near the kitchen, as a living room without having a couch etc. in it? But I guess not everyone has had a life where the first reaction to an empty large room near the back is "Ooo, armor workshop!"

You'd have a hard time underestimating the imagination of a large percentage of the general public.

Just discovered I had overpaid on a credit card I am closing out and so I just used my overpaid balance to partially pay my gas bill. Thanks Atmos Energy for allowing online payment of less than the amount due.

Now setting up payments for the rest of the month's bills to see if I'll have enough in my balance to buy Broadway tickets.

I came by even though I should be grading because I was wondering if Nanita had been around. Sending lots of love to you.

Congrats Jessica! I have been sneak teaching food studies stuff and would so love to studying it in a real program.

And yay for your good news too, JZ. Sending your brother lots of ~ma

I just went with my mother to a church dinner thing, that included a "talent show" portion. Which included a thing I can't even fully describe, but suffice it to say, the person did a 10+ minute introduction to her >10 minute thing, and I already don't like her, so that was something. Also, we all sang a gospel song from Nagaland, which you should google to see how crazy the borders of India are.

I went for a run and then to dog class and then I went wine-tasting, and then to dinner, and that was my day.

Also the Girl Scouts were at the wine tasting, and I bought two boxes of Samoas. Nom.
