This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Trudy. Brendon has the very faintest of lines this morning, finally. I hope he is clear tomorrow as he is really chomping at the bit to get out of here. His 1-2 week visit is now 7 and counting. I enjoy his company, but his basketball team misses him.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeesh, I'm glad you got that cleared up, Trudy. That sounds no bueno. I'd much rather be blissfully ignorant of my skeleton most times.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

You have bones inside you! WET bones inside you!

Glad you're getting better, Trudy.

You have spit in your mouth and now you need to swallow.

Today is Matilda's 16th birthday! So she's about the same age SA, Holli and Rebecca Lizard were when they joined us.

She's planning on taking her boyfriend out to IHOP to celebrate.

Joke's on you, mister; I'm eating rice and eggs.

Well, I presume you're still swallowing.

Ugh, nobody was very enthusiastic about this Monday. Not even Matilda and it's her birthday.

It's very grey out in SF this morning, which is fine. I could use some Autumn cool. I suppose I'll go run while I can.

I am not enthusiastic about Monday but am startled and disturbed how old Matilda is. My god. I mean I knew. But. Dang.
