Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Dang, I'm impressed you managed to hunt down the post Drew!!

I have an alarm going off in less than an hour, to get up and do all the shit for arriving at the soccer fields at like 8am, to run this tournament. And tonight the party goes late. But for some reason I woke up at 430am and have not been able to fall back asleep. 5 hours or less of sleep plus running around and stress and alcohol are not good for my sanity today! But I tried to go back to sleep for over an hour and I guess I give up. Will take my time getting ready.

ND, I'm so happy for you!

Our wings are not tired.

Breathing a sigh of relief here over the hurricane forecast. I think my doctors appreciated the trial run this week. We got all their personal devices set up for remote access. When we have a storm internet and power become history and phones and pads become the only method of the doctors seeing their patient charts. The datacenter where we have our servers are fabulous people and will even let you stay there on an air mattress or whatever if you need to be near your equipment. (you really have to need it because lounge area is small and not that comfy!) They even have a car charging station that will run off their generators! Super nerds.

Laura, I'm glad the hurricane isn't going to hit your area. Lots of ~ma for everyone it will affect.

We're being very lazy today. Changing over ltc to a five day a week schedule this year has been an adjustment for all of us. So, I think it is a well deserved pj day.

PJ day for me so far anyway. I may take the dog for some exercise later. DH is going on a picnic with his brother and friends for a well deserved relaxation day since he isn't evacuating now.

I'm hoping TCG can convince ltc to go out on her bike later so I can take a long bath and maybe fit in an episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which I'm completely addicted to at the moment.

Oh! They have my mayor on MSNBC now. Delray Beach only gets on the news for stuff like storms.

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

Timelies all!

We are at the National Book Festival, having just heard Seanan McGuire do a talk/q & a. Next up: John Scalzi.

Have fun, Sheryl!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, that's a good lineup -- I've heard both of them talk, and they're really terrific!

It's Allston Christmas here -- aka some sections of the area have 40% of the apartments turning over today and tomorrow. I was kept busy dodging U-Hauls -- at least nobody got stuck on one of the low bridges on Storrow Drive (YET).
