Also - I am applying for a job back in NC and am scrambling to get my resume together; anyone might have the time and bandwidth to read the job description and a roughs draft of my resume Thursday night/Friday morning?

I’d be up for it. Also, yay! (From NC’s perspective. I know New Orleans is the city of your heart.)

She's so crazy prolific at writing I don't know when she has time to watch anything. I can't keep up.

Thank you! Also, I’ll be in NC for a week in May, would love to see you and amych and Anny if it works out. I have a work thing and family stuff but should have some free time.

Hahaha nsm any more. I am tired and things are getting worse here exponentially faster than a lot of other places. Everyone I know is at least fantasizing about leaving and a lot of my friends have already left. NC looks like an absolute paradise by contrast.

So in what will hopefully be the last run of scary medical testing for me for a good while, I have my colonoscopy tomorrow around midday. (Due to family history I've been having them every few years since I was 35 or so, so I think this is like my 5th or 6th?)

I swear the worst part is having to choke down the drink for the prep. The version they prescribed me has two doses, one of which I took at 4:30 this afternoon, and the other I have a 5:30 AM alarm set to make sure I wake up for. I made the mistake of mixing it with white grape juice this afternoon, which I thought would drown out the taste, but somehow it amplified it instead. It was so bad I had Dylan go out and get me a bottle of yellow Gatorade so I'd have another option for the morning. I'm just glad I'm not a Baptist anymore, because I don't think I'd be able to face grape juice at communion after this. At this point I'm contemplating swearing off grapes altogether.

Yikes that sounds nasty Susan!

David thought of you tonight because I was at trivia and we could not for the life of us come up with the name Wes Anderson. If we had we would’ve gotten second place! Sigh. (Also can y’all name the three national parks whose names start with “Great”? I got two)

Ha! David's Perfect Jeopardy Board: Wes Anderson, Hairstyles of the 20th Century, Glam Rock, Oakland A's, Comic Books of the 80s, Sandwiches

Right now, I can't name even one. The out of doors would not be one of my trivia category strengths.

Excellent board, David.

I'm not sure I have super strong categories. I need to think about that! I'm more weird, random knowledge + over 55, so I know a lot of shit courtesy of age.

Also, good morning.

I would be horrible to trivia. My sister watches Jeopardy and I am often surprised that I know some categories well, but for the most part I don't have a clue.

Great Plains? That the only thing I can think of in the us and that’s not a natl park I don’t think. Great Lakes? That’s not either is it?

Great Barrier Reef is the only thing in my brain.

Yes the two I came up with were Great Basin and Great Smoky Mountains but did not know that Great Sand Dunes is a park??

My brain did keep trying to do “grand” (canyon, Tetons, something) instead of great. A lot of teams just said things like “Great Glacier!”
