I have some friends in Tucson, and have visited before, so I know a little about the place, and just generally love the scenery and dry dry climate. It's way more liberal than most of AZ, which is also attractive. And has universities and so on, plus neighborhoods where you can walk to the grocery store et al.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interesting coincidence, bt. The forecast high in Washington, DC today is just one degree off from that. Of course, 37F is a lot colder than 38C.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got the best humble brag ever in an email -- the faculty member apologized if she doesn't get back to us today because she's on her way to Birmingham, AL, to give a keynote with John Lewis!

Neat, Jesse!
After a week in which TCG had 3 after work meetings, I'm catching up on TV and magazines while TCG ferries ltc to and from school. Then picking up Thessaly for errands this afternoon.

I have never heard of The Truth before, I will have to seek it out!
That's an excellent humble brag.
Glad to hear that, sj!
Hey, Jesse, you know how we were talking about how short weeks were subjectively longer than 5-day weeks because of teh concentrated workload? I am not finding the converse to be true this week. Just so you know.

Dear self, you do not need to bring more shoes than the number of days you will be traveling.
(But winter + airplane + formal event = THREE SHOE TYPES)

Hey Theo,
I can send you my current resume if you want. I did some modifications after some recruiter feedback and the revised version seemed to go over well.

Jessica I always find shoes the one place I have trouble with minimalist packing. I always want more pairs than I should. And often bring more pairs than I should. But women's shoes are hard!

Packing shoes is hard! Even if you can minimize how many you need, they take up so much space. Which is why I end up wearing my bulkiest shoes on the plane - not great for getting through security, but otherwise not too bad.

That would be the smart thing to do but also the least comfortable, and I don't want to be That Guy who takes their shoes off on the plane.
