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 just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You ARE extremely impressive, Dana!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm impressed. Sometimes technical jobs involve training specific to their environment so the ability to learn is as important as direct experience.
