"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, that was relatively painless changing my card on Venmo, PayPal and Amazon.

And I changed them all to the Living Trust account so I won't have to change them again when that account # is changed.

I’m at the Stanton Park Hotel, I guess I’ll have to console myself that I’m next door to the Pinball Hall.

Our wings are not tired.

Stanton Park was full when I checked. Pinball Hall? This sounds like a Brendon thing.

Pinball Hall is super relevant to my interests.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Every time somebody updates, I think, "Oh, should I try to get there?" But realistically, I don't know where I'll be treatment-wise, so unfortunately not likely.

{{{Shir & Nilly & Fam}}} so glad you're OK, even if grading and work are making things extra onerous.

But, some tiny, personal good news - saw Trevor Noah live tonight. Very fun show! And he came out for pics outside the stage door (pictorial evidence on FB), so that was cool. (Working on embracing experiences (without being fatalistic about it)).

And I have a task at the office that I need to come in late in the afternoon to do, so I volunteered to clock in late tomorrow morning so I can work in the office late (when it's mostly deserted). Y'know, 'cuz I'm a giver, nothing to do with not getting home until nearly 11:00 tonight. Nope, definitely 'cuz I'm such an awesome employee!

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

Nilly and Shir, I hope things have calmed down in your area.

I am stuck in NC during the memorial, as the person I cover for (and vice versa) is getting married and going on his honeymoon then.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Attending JZ's memorial in anything more than spirit won't be possible for me, but I'll be thinking of her and all of you.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I have no idea why my incompetent government is now trying to open a war with Iran. It's like they've given up on the idea that they can make things better here, and now they are offering scripts to different ways in which they can make things worse.

USians, you have elections coming up. Do whatever you can to fight populism and extremists. That's how we ended up here.
