Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Dana.

I feel like delay or cancellation is just the norm now. more than 50% of my flights this year have been delayed or straight up cancelled. Of the others all but 1 were oversold and taking volunteers to be re-routed.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ugh, I feel bad for all of you that have to travel a lot for work. I would be so stressed.

I swear the minutes until 4:30 are each taking an hour. TCG has to go back to work after dinner, and I desperately need to lay down for a few minutes. I can't tell if the soreness is from working out or the rain or both, but I hurt a lot right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The last flight out of NYC I took was so on time we had to run to the gate (after a 45-minute security line). The flight home (which we were on time for) was delayed.

Okay. This is amazing. You may have seen the story about the malfunctioning voting machine is Mississippi. Now I don't know if the machine was rigged or if the touchscreen was malfunctioning, but apparently the machine was made by a company called ESS out of Omaha. Check out their address:

Election Systems & Software, LLC 11208 John Galt Blvd. Omaha, NE 68137

I thought it had to be fake, but nope [link]

I mean, c'mon, how do you make election systems and software and not choose a different location or have the city change the street name?

Our wings are not tired.

Ha! Nice address there ESS! I have a lot of family in Omaha. I'll have to mention this to them.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is being dropped from Netflix next month!

I have her on DVD, so I don't care, but I thought some other people might.

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

Timelies all!

So the cold that Gary's been dealing with has now hit me. Mostly congestion, but ugh...
