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

Sounds fun!

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

but that does mean I will be constantly earwormed with it and my ridiculous brain keeps trying to try to put the words to Kubla Khan onto it. "In Xanada did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree where Alph the sacred river ran, Jolene"

Heh! If it's any consolation I've almost finished your package so I should be sending it out soon.

Ooh, something to look forward to!

Our wings are not tired.

That sounds quite delightful, David.

After I moved to SF, Chip would come out to visit me (at this same apartment) for at least a week every summer for many consecutive years. I'd give him a set of keys and he'd do his runs through GG park and it was always great. After rooming together in college it wasn't really like hosting a guest.

I've seen him a few times over the last few years (and got to meet and know his adult kids) but that was back at Pittsburgh, or at college reunions in Ohio. Anyway, it's just a lovely surprise and bonus.

I've heard you mention Chip often through the years. It will mean a lot to him to see you and yours together.

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

As much as I love Dolly, I flippin' HATE this song, so your filk actually helps me. So thanks!

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

But boy does my arm hurt!

Yeah, my shingles shots (especially the first one) felt a lot like a tetanus shot, arm-pain-wise.

That does sound awesome, David. Enjoy, all!

That does not sound delightful, -t. Hope it returns to normal soon.

Lunch with friends, yay, Laura.

Have a couple friends over for a WFJ day (work from Jen's), and we took the one out for a b-day lunch. This is the crew I'm going to the beach with end of October for a WFB (work from beach) week.

That's about it from here. Rain cleared up just in time for lunch, which was great.

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

Timelies all!

Despite the rain, I managed to get Mr. S to school at 8. He actually wanted us to leave earlier, but I hadn't finished my breakfast yet. I'm glad he likes his school.
