That looks pretty sweet, Calli!
Ugh, invitation to a department meeting tomorrow morning at 9 am with a "please try to attend" note attached. Not necessarily ominous, I suppose, but I don't like it.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.
'War Stories'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That place is fab! Would need to hire a staff to maintain it, but if I were buying it with a couple of my hundreds of millions, then I guess that's not an issue.
We were discussing what we'd do with the Powerball earlier in the week. I basically said I'd call the friend we were visiting and say, "Now what, and how much will it cost for you to handle it for me?"
I think one of the parts I would love the most is just being able to hire other people with the talent for things I don't have and pay them well to do their thing (say, design and decorate a house, or set up a foundation with my millions) and not have to try to do a substandard job myself.
I mean, I do that now with small stuff... but, you know, bigger stuff!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
-t, I hope they want to announce huge raises early, so you can enjoy the news all day

Oh, excellent thought!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary left on a business trip today, returning tomorrow night. It's been about as delightful as expected. Waiting for Mr. S to fall asleep before I can do anything.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy for you both!

That's great news, Andi!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Lovely breakfast, massage, and now picking up Indian takeout from a new, highly rated place, so that's promising.
Very promising!
Yay Daniel!

I'm pretty nervous about election day this year, but I'm really looking forward to the Warnock campaign no longer spamming my inbox. I've deleted over 100 emails from them just in the past week!
