Austin is pretty great.

Our wings are not tired.

Congrats on the move, Nora.

In other news, is anything better than getting the flight check-in notice for vacation??

That is a good one for sure.

Tired this morning from staying up past my bedtime to watch debates, and will do it again tonight. I have thoughts, but they are still napping.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I always think of Sophia when this happens: I had a lot of beets for dinner last night and definitely would have thought I was dying this morning if I didn't remember!

This can happen with red velvet cake, too.

I didn't watch. I could come up with thoughts, but their value would be very suspect.

Vortex, at this point it looks like we'll just miss you in New Orleans. :-(

How is New Orleans doing? There was a lot of news about the potential for massive flooding, but I never heard much about it after that. I'm hoping that means things weren't too bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It was fine. I think the route of the storm changed some, and the rain wasn't as heavy as predicted.

That's good to hear.

I hope Austin works out well for you, Nora.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, y'all, phone interview at 11:30. I actually suspect the job would be too technical for me, and would also want more hours than I actually want to put in. But they contacted me on LinkedIn and said my background was "extremely impressive," so at the very least, I will take the ego boost.
