More importantly, I'm going to make election cake this weekend, and was going to use dark rum to soak the fruit in, because I have it around and also it's American. That will still be delicious, right? Even though the recipes call for whisky or other?
And we live to fight another day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What's disheartening is how many stupid things he's already said that his supporters just blithely ignore. Or embrace!
Yes, this. It's so scary.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
My coodinator just emailed all the freelancers to tell us that the AMA is giving the employees an extra hour of paid time off today to attend the Cubs parade. That's awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have a dentist appointment and yet another Comcast appointment today, so no parade for me.

I have never drunk rum. I want to buy a bottle of rum. (Mostly so, some day, in 15 years, I can say, "Why is the rum gone?") What kind of rum should I buy, and how should I drink it? (I am serious about the 15 years thing. Last week I finished a bottle of Chivas we inherited when mr. flea's grandparents died in 2001. Note that it was not full when we inherited it.)

Our wings are not tired.
I'm partial to the Caribbean rums. Appleton from Jamaica is very nice.

Also, I would like to confess that despite an overall excellent command of English, I am confused about the tenses of the verb "to drink." "I have never drunk rum" is, I think, correct, but it feels wrong. Drink, drank, drunk. Sigh.

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.
Where rum is involved, drunk is always an appropriate word.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
That will still be delicious, right?
Yes. But if you're not sure, you can send me some and I'll taste it for you.
I'm having an EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE kind of day, which doesn't seem fair on a Friday where I'm working from home! Why so emergencified, work?

Thrive to spite them
I just realized my first day at work is Wednesday and I'll be up all night with the election results.
