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.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!!

Went to basketball game last night and learned something new, of the totally random variety. Prior to DH's varsity game the JV team plays. The JV team was all wearing those baggie long basketball shorts, while the varsity team wears mid-thigh shorts. So I asked DH why this was the case. (he knows my preference for the thigh exposing variety of course) So he tells me that those are last year's uniforms. The JV team gets the handmedown uniforms from the varsity team the following season and the varsity guys get new ones. Apparently the shorter shorts have regained popularity so they chose those.
I was extraordinarily productive today, in a way. I planned out the next 4 weeks of meals in detail. (just dinner because I eat salad every day for lunch, or soup, but no planning required) I like to cook, but I hate the daily what to eat decision stuff. So no decisions for the next month! Showed it to DH and he was all on board. Includes eating out once a week because that is just going to happen.
