Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes! Good for that manager.

Our wings are not tired

Newfoundland, even crazier.

My Dad had all sorts of stories from when he lived in Goose Bay Newfoundland as a Canadian Airforce doctor and how half the time he couldn't understand anything from the locals.

Ha! We were stationed in Goosebay AFB '67 and part of '68.

Snow on the ground 11 1/2 months out of the year.

My parents met in Goose Bay. Mom was an Air Force nurse and dad was a doctor. Mom used to fly in unheated DC-3 aircraft and land on the tundra above the arctic circle to give medical aid to the indigenous people. She was apparently one of the first white women doing work above the arctic circle in Canada.

Mom had stories about getting lost on the base when the show melted because she didn't know what any of he buildings actually looked like and just knew how to identify them according to the snow drifts.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is Newfoundland where "Come From Away" is set? My grandma's father was from New Brunswick, so I get them mixed up.

I basically haven't done shit today, which I feel fine about, but should I got to two band practices tomorrow?? The answer is yes, I think.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I support that yes

Have done jack all today, besides organizing my ride to the airport on Thursday and figuring out that I can't take the train home as my flight lands too late, alas. And that's fine.

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

Don't be like Nancy, Jesse.

Yep. The airport that hosted all the planes on 9/11 used to be used for refuelling stops for transatlantic flights. My dad worked there as a customs officer in the 1950s. He says he had drinks with Frank Sinatra!

Ha!

The fact is, going to the rehearsal and meeting is the way to stop from feeling like a fraud at the second band's gigs, so. All band all day!!
