The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

TPA means "third-party administrator"?

Yeah, sorry. Used to work with a company involved in health insurance so I got used to the jargon.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Way to go, Gud! Whether or not it turns out to be the right move for you, it's great that other organizations are recognizing your awesomeness.

Roger Stone was arrested this morning for 7 counts including witness tampering,obstruction, and making false statements in relation to the election.

Damn, there are some big cracks forming in that dam.

ION, I love the way my little girl crosses her paws.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Happy Roger Stone Indictment Day, everyone!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you came across that car in real life, would you be able to restrain yourself from going at it with a red sharpie?

Our wings are not tired.

Awww, Zoe does that too and it is so sweet.

I mean my wife will still be angry with me, but no more so than usual.

This really just breaks my heart. You deserve better. None of us deserve anger directed at us for being human.

Happy Roger Stone Indictment Day, everyone!

That was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes this morning because NYT sends notifications to my phone. Put a bit of a bounce in my step.

Kitties finally ate last night. I was getting concerned. I know experts say 2 weeks to 2 months for them to acclimate, but hard. They spend most of the time crammed behind the air handler, but this morning both of them came out to let DH pet them. I'm going to rearrange in there a bit more today because I think it is going to be their safe place for a while. Probably will put off doing laundry for a couple days though so I don't freak them out.

I think I have settled on Scully & Mulder for names. Both those characters have so much in common with cats. I love Fred & Ginger, but my FIL's name was Fred and that might be weird. Also love Bonnie and Clyde, but I just lost my beloved cousin Bonnie this year, and too soon. Just smiling to myself thinking of Scully and Mulder catting around, and fighting and playing with each other.

Right? Not only is "incredulously" used incorrectly, the bold type just compounds the offense.

Kato always did that. He looked like such a proper gentleman dog.

Totally unrelated: I gave my mom a Penzey's box of spices for Christmas, and she texted me this morning to tell me how much they love all the spices they've tried so far. I texted back and told her that the owner of the company really hates this administration and often has specials that poke at something the administration did (like their special on Mexican vanilla and spices right after Trump said something particularly egregious about Mexican people). My mom replied "Really? I'm buying EVERYTHING they sell!"
