Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

When I was in grade school in the 70s and there was a tornado warning, we all just filed out into the school hallway and curled up in a fetal position and hoped for the best.

By the time I was in high school in the 80s, they were also having us take a textbook into the hall with us to protect our heads.

Hec, reading your posts about your to-do list, I was hearing the Count from Sesame Street counting off the number of things you'd done.

It worked -- just some minor blood leakage that, while painful, is not concerning.

Our wings are not tired.

Good day, Buffistas! And a good day it is because today we celebrate the birth of Tom Scola. I hope that today is a most excellent day, and may the year to come be filled with delight.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

“Not concerning” is a most excellent outcome. Okay, also not painful would be most excellent, but this is close.

Unquestionably most excellent is day of Scola, and indeed the man himself. Happy b-day!
