On a much much lighter note: should I go dancing tonight?

Pro: it's dancing; it's a convention so there will be lots of people there from out of town

Con: it's down near the airport and I'd have to pay $20 to get in plus parking; I might end up sitting watching more than dancing; it doesn't start until 9pm.

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

Go dancing! I say as I sit on my couch watching TV.

Yeah, I think the big risk is more the "doesn't start until 9pm" part, really!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That was my takeaway. These days if it doesn't start until 9pm it better take an hour or less for me.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Plei: Eeep. No, the person who is in Denver this week was in Hangouts. I wish he were home, I am getting no sleep.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I dream of single payer where I'm not doing it. It's is total insanity that it's part of what an employer needs to do.

So completely and totally.

May he be home soon for sleeeeep for you.

Well, it's 8:30 and I am not in the car on the way to the dance, but rather in my pajamas on the couch. So there's your answer! ...I did end up down a YouTube rabbit hole of choreography, though?

First of all lots of ~ma to Laura and amyth.

I dream of single payer where I'm not doing it. It's is total insanity that it's part of what an employer needs to do.

This drives me nuts about candidates who want to 'build onto' employer-provided health care to reach universal coverage. If they mean it as a transitional thing, then okay, but I think wanting to keep that system is insane. I wish the Dems would make more of an issue how single-payer (or even a very heavily regulated public-private partnership) would make it so much easier for small businesses, for people wanting to start their own business, for contractors, and for a more fluid labor market. They should push back against the 'it's a job killer' argument of the GOP.

Herding cats for fun

My employer provided health insurance has become a complete scam. We have a family deductible of $3,000.... and then we still have to pay 20% of costs. I would have been better off banking the cost of the premium. How I miss the good old days when I only had a $35 copay and preventative care was free.
