Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

As for the 5-year plan, I guess I'm one of the few who is mostly still where they were 5 years ago. Same house, same family (though my sister is getting remarried!), same dog. Job is different since I got promoted, but it's the same org with most of the same people.

Same. Although my sister has no wedding plans that I’m aware of.

hopefully I can wind down and spend the weekend NOT talking to people

Solitude~ma.

I’m glad your mom is doing ok, Matt.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We went to visit Mr. S today. We took him to a local park and basically followed him as he rambled around. Ended up in the nature center where we saw various critters, including an owl. Mr. S behaved well while we were out, which is good.

Our wings are not tired.

That sounds encouraging, Sheryl.

Yeah, fingers crossed he's learning to regulate his behavior.

So fellow Buffistas, opinions on which of these door colors I should consider for my house? [link]

I like the teal and the red, Matt.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I like the teal, Matt. Have you considered a yellow?

I'm partial to the teal.

I am terrible at decisions like that. I like the teal and the white.

Well, for the first time in more than four years, I have a cold (tested negative so far). It's been a good run. NyQuil, heated blanket, and Audible to the rescue.

Punishingly Intricate

Ugh I have a cold now too and just had to let my Mom know I wasn’t coming out to brunch. I feel terrible either way but at least I don’t risk passing the virus on to my folks if we stay home. By terrible I mean guilty.

I like the teal door, Matt. We have a blue door and it is very happy making.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I like the white best, which surprises me.
