Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

Hey, just a reminder to anyone planning on going to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in April (Fri. 4/10-Sun. 4/12)... past attendees can register starting today, and first-timers can register beginning Jan. 8th.

I should be around. I’ll be out of the country the weekend before (destination wedding) but should be back! Yay for seeing peeps again!

ETA: I meant to say this earlier - my thoughts are with you, meara.

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

Tariffs, ICE, Venezuala - it all comes down to his unchecked impulse to assert power, really just to bully.

There's no real policy behind it. He's so dangerously stupid and incompetent.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It doesn't negate the other stuff but if you need to read something positive, Natalie Merchant is doing good things. [link]

Happy new year, all. Shir, it's especially good to see you're OK.

Meara, I'm so sorry you're going through it.

I don't know people in Venezuela, but for those who do, sending be-OK-ma!
