Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Our wings are not tired.

Random: Generally I never watch anything with commercials, but it happens when watching live sports. There is one that just shows a grilled cheese sandwich being cooked and a dude singing about it being time for grilled cheese. I just find its simplicity and effectiveness charming. I don't even have an urge to fast forward.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

driving the beach instead of the highway

Hah! Yeah, when I wasn't allowed to drive myself to or from chemo earlier this year, I got some grief from my family for giving them directions that avoided the interstate.

Incipient road rage has been a problem for me the past five years (I had to remove "March of Cambreadth" from my driving playlist). It has gotten worse the past two, due to my treatments. My emotions are much more volatile now.

One benefit of working from home this past year has been no daily commute. Mornings weren't so bad (so long as I was on the road by 6:15), I would use I-35 then, but coming home took twice as long, because I stayed off the interstate.

and being vigilant about my sleep

Yeah, that works for me too. The temptation to take an afternoon nap has become very strong, but I have learned to resist and work through it -- the few times I have given in, I had bad insomnia that night, and was useless the next day.

Good, the Oxford Comma is bullshit.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Lin-Manual Miranda has released the first eight minutes of In The Heights ... it looks good.
