Hec, five times actually!

Ayiyi! See, you've got a very handy excuse Not To for a while to come.

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

Timelies all!

Yeah, it's Monday. At least I noticed my shirt was backwards before I left the house.

The status is NOT quo.

Tep, from way back, no I don't wear two pairs. I find more socks or more padding equals more blisters. I just use the thin elites, and they work like a charm.

Thrive to spite them

Beverly I would have but I didn't have time. I worked until 7 today. I am going to look for my voter card again and see if I have any mail that will work woth my address.

My choices in the primary are 3 old white guys woth almost identical platforms, at least in terms of US Rep. I favor one slightly over the other but I think the one I favor slightly is a long shot . The other elections in the primary only have 1 person each according tonthr sample ballot

My sweet but flaky neighbor left his front door open when he left for the evening. I shut it & locked up after ascertaining all electronics were still home. Belatedly worried he was dead inside & frantically texted. Nope, just being a flake.

You want me as your presumptuous neighbor who will barge into your house.

And now I'm waiting for him to get home to do a walk through, just in case.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

After getting back in the school groove over the weekend, I plan on being a bit nicer to my brain but to set goals for each evening, trying to alternate between DCC and school. Tonight was DCC and I accomplished a bunch. Tomorrow is actually a night off to see P!NK. Got the tickets last October and tomorrow I can see if I can exchange at least 2 of them for ADA seats.

DCC starts in 39 days, which means graduation is 33 days away. I need to complete my coursework within the next 28 days, though my goal is 14. Can I plan on sleeping all summer?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Tom, your pictures, especially the black and white ones, show a depth of solitude in the middle of that enormous, crowded city.

Debet, I am glad you are safe.

Most definitely!

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, I tell my neighbors I would let them know if I was moving. If someone is taking my stuff and loading it into a truck, call the cops.

Tomorrow is actually a night off to see P!NK.

Excellent use of time off!

It really was in the middle of nowhere. It was a good experience for Max. Many professors posed for pictures with him and shook our hands as parental proxies. Really glad we went.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, my boss's boss finally reached out for my feedback on her annual review. You're supposed to get feedback from direct reports, but he never did it last year. I was actually thinking about proactively sending him a note about how she's a great boss, but now I feel pressure!
