Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Karma?

Nah, just braggadaccio (how many ds and cs are supposed to be in that word?) and comeuppance. And I'm pretty sure squirrels are related to mice at some level.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just discovered that I had a tube of Capzasin creme right next to my toothbrush at work. No tragic (or comic, depending on your viewpoint) actions were made.

My assistant and one of my crew are out sick today and probably tomorrow which means nine to midnight days for me. I really hope this ick doesn't last long.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

The state of things is that my plans for tomorrow are depended on the Islamic Jihad and IDF (ICYMI: a leader assassination, rockets, more attacks, more rockets, a reported cease fire that should take place sometime... today?, and I plan going to places that are being mildly targeted [I do not plan to go to places that are being heavily targeted]). Living in the Middle East can be really silly sometimes.

Aurelia I really wish you meant 9pm to midnight.

I managed to go dancing! It didn't feel great (I felt uncoordinated, and had some terrible dances along with a few decent ones, before my ankle gave up) but I'm glad I finally went—I kept thinking "oh I should go" but being ensconced on the couch by the time I'd need to leave at night.

'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"

Um, shir, 'silly' is one way to describe it. For all the right-wing talk that I've heard that 'Trump is the best friend Israel ever had' the result seems to be that you guys are in more danger, not less.

I just woke up from a dream where I'd agreed to sell my house and move into an apartment, only it turned out that it was in a Trump Resort (a fast-talking saleswoman on a telephone didn't mention that) and it hadn't actually been built yet... and then I was trying to explain it all to Nancy Pelosi during an airplane ride.

Then I woke up, so I don't know if she had any good advice to offer.

Hey. New board.

Also, did I post here that I thought my neighbor was growing weird facial hair for Halloween? It was not! He still has it.

No shave November maybe?

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sure Nancy had good advice for you, Theodosia.

Yes, I think no shave November is still a thing.

Shir, be safe. I hope the "silliness" calms down quickly.

With all due respect to your own lovely and stable world leader and US aid money, I think that at this point the problem of my country is more local than global. It might be useful, say, if we had a government. So that basic services that are depending on governmental funds could work properly again and people would get paid. And maybe with a stable government we would be able to start working on things such as security again, but step one, I think, is actually having a stable government. I still can't believe we had two elections in 2019, and now they're talking about a third run. Such a bankruptcy of democracy that we are.

Yay for dancing, meara!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Shir.

Made me laugh!

No, he's definitely still shaving. It's more Wolverine-style mutton chops, which is why I thought it was for Halloween!
