You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

I also don't like tornado warnings and no power for you.

Our wings are not tired.

Add me to the list of people pronouncing desultory wrong. If enough of us are pronouncing it wrong, then I think we get to declare our version a regional dialect.

Let’s declare it!

I’m actually pretty heartened that so many of us were apparently pronouncing it the same way! But unlike most of you, it’s a word I’ve said aloud at least 70 times in my life. In front of people. In fact, hey, I may be a reason that hundreds of people are saying it “wrong”! I’m good with taking responsibility.

Meara where are you going for vacation? I’m taking my friend Akilah (we went to Mexico last year) to DR for a week. We leave Saturday. And yes I am counting the hours. I never quite understood the need for a tropical vacation until I moved to the east coast. I totally took my Hawaii/California upbringing for granted before this.

Storm has passed, power is still out. I'm catching up on reading.

I hope it comes back on quickly, Dana. Catching up on reading is great, but since you can also do that with power, I feel good about my hopes for you.

I have tidied for the cleaners who are coming uncharacteristically early tomorrow morning, and if I waited until the morning, I wouldn't be able to go to the pool, so screw that.

Tropical vacation sounds lovely. Enjoy.

Power is back on, and it doesn't seem like any tornados touched down.

I don't like it either!

I'm going into the busiest season of the year with possibly only 2 staff members (down from 7). 2 left for promotions, 1 is on maternity leave, 1 is a new position, and 1 is interviewing for a promotion.

... yeah. So that's a thing.

Which is why I'm sitting on my couch watching Youtube videos about Star Wars, and drinking some wine which costs too much to be opened on a weekday.

I think this is a sound strategy. I mean Friday's just over the horizon.

Good!

Yikes, 'Suela. That's some serious attrition.
