There is a place near where I used to live that makes this perfectly ENORMOUS ... taco? burrito? ... and challenges people to eat the whole thing in a set amount of time. Those who succeed get their pictures on the wall of fame in the restaurant plus a t-shirt and, I think, a coupon. They don't include anything for indigestion.

Rum old fashioned is always a good idea.

I am going to believe we were denied a delightful tipsy post.

We drove to the Cape to see the SpaceX launch. And launch it did. We hadn't been in a while and drove around clueless looking for our previous viewing spot. Finally with about a minute to spare we pull into a median and get out of the car. Then we notice another dude in the median with a tripod and fancy camera looking in the opposite direction of where we thought we should be looking. He was experienced and actually knew where he was and we watched the launch. Got home around 3:30 AM and I drug myself to my desk to work by 8. I think a nap needs to happen.

Wow 330am? That’s hardcore Laura!!

I made it to the airport (and my gate) on time albeit a little later than hoped. But omg had terrible stress dreams all night long including one where my poor dog was hurt!! That was a new one—I’ve had stress dreams where he was lost or something but damn. That got me.

My aunt thought "misled" was pronounced "myz'-zld" and it was very hard to convince her otherwise.

I think there's already a critical mass of people using misled (mis-led) and misled (myzld) as homonyms and the dictionary should just get on board already.

OOF I am wiped out. I just got back from a 2-day business trip to California with 2 full days of airplanes at each end and my body does not know even a little bit what time to eat or sleep. And I can't tell if my current level of throat gunk is due to 12 hours of dry airplane/airport air yesterday or if I came back with a cold. (I was masked the whole time but almost nobody else was and I passed through 4 airports, so.)

Isn't mizzling a word also? Something about rain?

I hope the travel ick passes quickly and relatively harmlessly, Jess

Sorry about the dream, meara, that sounds awful. Yay making your flight!

I woke up with chills and coughing and decided to work from home and now I am having trouble getting myself to actually work. I have a meeting in an hour so I'll have to be at least paying attention then...

Food question: Do you think everyone (barring allergies) likes chocolate and peanut butter? I'm planning to make a chocolate cake for a dinner party this weekend and saw choc/pb frosting recommended.

That sounds like maybe a sick day is in order!!

I do know people who are not crazy about chocolate, like my sister, but they are simply wrongheaded and shouldn't make the rest of the assemblage suffer.
