I went for dim sum last night, and it was a much more authentic place than many I've been to -- it had stuff chicken feet, yes, but also pork tripe and pork trotter and jellyfish, and I forget what else!
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

I just got home from my band retreat, and I am exhausted!! It was great, though.
Are you vying with Jon B. for nerdiest summer activity? Trying to dethrone his Theremin camp?

Did you try the trotter?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not at all, but that's only because I come in peace and have no need to compete.

Our wings are not tired.
It was 49F when I got up this morning!! Ah, Otter Lake, you brisk. It does intend to get to 79 later so I won't be wrapped up in sweats and sweater all day. Free AC!
I am going to make an effort to be more productive today because the last couple days were all slacker all the time. Oh, except menu planning. I gathered 5 weeks worth of recipes for my diet calendar. I'll probably drive to the city later and shop for the next week.

Oh ho! Last week, I sent an email following up on a meeting with a few people, and one of them bounced back. I wondered what was going on, but figured it was just a glitch. But no! Now I see that person's office is being packed up, so I wonder what happened. There was no indication at the meeting that he wouldn't be around for follow-up....

So I Primed already. I've always wanted a robotic vacuum because floors are my least favorite chore ever. So I ordered it! Otter Lake will be a challenge since we drag pine needles inside multiple times a day. Downside is taking delivery in NY because the sales tax is more than FL. So $185 poorer, but looking forward to seeing how this thing works.

What is even happening?

Really, whenever any of us does a nerdy thing, isn't it -- at best -- an homage to Theremin camp?

Fair point!
Actually Jesse's trombone retreat looked rather idyllic.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'll certainly bow before Theremin Camp, and I've been mocked for getting into an overly nerdy discussion about Whedonverse shows and the Joseph Campbell myth cycle AT a Bronze Posting Board Party!
