The question at the crux of The Great Gerund War was whether or not the -age suffix gerunded or nouned a verb, as in, for example, the phrase "Willow kissage."
I totally don't remember that. Which may be for the best.

Our wings are not tired.
My flight was delayed because part of the plane fell off and they had to replace it, but it could have been worse.
!!!!!!!
Sorry you didn't have more time to explore and enjoy Boston.
I am going to regret this so much.
I think with so much rage overload in the world today it is hard to get worked up as much over grammar. IMO, but a good Gerund War could be considered a healthy distraction. YGFMV (I'll let you guess on that one)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, nostalgia for the passions of our youth.
I have not fallen down today, so yay!

Woo Hoo! Upright -t is a good thing. Are you dizzy at all? Hope whatever it was is gone.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Everybody's home today. Me, because the government closed. Gary, because his workplace follows the government's lead on closings. And Mr. S because his daycare/nursery school closed. So we're trying to figure out how to keep Mr. S occupied.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I really think we should follow the government's lead and just...not work today.

I am half-celebrating, as I'm flying back home from a work meeting. But I have to get stuff done this afternoon because next week I'm on vacation, woot!
Also I do not remember the gerund wars. Probably for the best, as I have strong Oxford comma, cilantro, and hammock opinions.

My next business trip is Monday. I can leave my bag packed aside from the dirty laundry.

I've been on the phone changing insurance and seeing up trash service for over an hour now. I'm holding at the moment, in fact.
Gulped at the bill, but got paint for LR and Master this morning, will hopefully get those mostly knocked out this weekend. I'm really excited to see the paint colors -- I'm going darker than I've ever gone before (mwah ha ha) so I'm a little nervous.
Laura, I think B would be a great head coach! I hope it works out.
