Aw, Jesse, I'm sorry. That's hard. Is there something nice and low-effort you can do for yourself?
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eh, it's OK. I was thinking I would love to take a proper week off, but I'd just have to spend it with her! Oh well.

Jesse, can you find an Air BNB somewhere in western MA or Maine? You deserve some down time.
I had a very tasty lobster roll! And I bought some (more) wine. Now I have yard work to do but it's too hot out so I'm surfing Youtube and reading the NYTimes article on Trump's taxes -- they got 17 YEARS worth of taxes. It's shocking and appalling.
Because, get this, I know you'll be shocked, He's been lying about his money and he's actually horribly in debt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also shocking, he's both a terrible businessman and a giant crook.

I don't drive! So I am kind of stuck, although obviously I could take public transportation and it might actually be worth it at this point.

I'm a little surprised. I just heard an NPR interview with Dan Alexander of Forbes where he'd gone through Trump's assets vs. debts and came up with a $2.5 billion net worth figure. I'd assumed he was doing well, just by crooked means like refusing to pay vendor contracts and having loans from Russian oligarchs forgiven in return for political favors.

Net worth doesn't necessarily equate to actual money, it's about value. So you could have assets that have value (e.g. an expensive resort in Florida), but still be in debt (you owe people money that you haven't paid).

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, add it to the list for when the virus is over. I'd be happy to have you over and cook for you?
That is indeed something to look forward to! Next summer.
Yay, msbelle!
Has anyone who's gotten the flu shot had side effects?
Somewhat embarrassed to say the last flu shot I had was in the 60s. I have excuses. I've never had the flu. I had the shingles vaccine so I am not anti-vax or anything, just selective.
MY sister and I watched the whole Comey thing on Showtime tonight. verdict, no news, no surprises. The only person we liked was Yates. No opinions changed on anything else. Maybe an upside that it will piss of the orange one?
The taxes. Maybe it will get a news cycle. I'm weary. Nothing matters. My only hopeful feeling is that he only loses people, he never gets new followers.
