Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I watched as late as I could. Sadly, I couldn’t stay up for Obama, but I’m sure it’ll be posted somewhere.

I know where my birth certificate is because I needed it to get “real ID” the last time my drivers license expired. So now it’s in a plastic bag, along with my passport and social security card, in my important papers space, along with euros and Canadian money from my travels. It’s not quite a to-go bag, but if a tornado was heading my way it would be easy enough to grab and stuff in my bra as I headed for the one windowless room in the apartment.

I know where my official notarized copy of my birth certificate is and my original Social Security card. Embarrassingly, I've never had a passport.

Watched as much of the DNC as I could last night, but didn't make it to the Obamas. I did, this morning, watch the video of Tammy Duckworth's speech. I love that there's so much positive energy in the convention - I watched part of the roll call and it reminded me of past conventions (when it would go on for a LONG time).

I've never had a passport either. Just been to Canada and Mexico.

I do know my birth certificate is in the safe. Documents always seem more important when they are in a safe.

Our wings are not tired.

I have all my paperwork including my passport. I've had FIVE last names, so getting my real id in Florida took a lot of paperwork.

I didn't watch the convention live as we were driving to Maine and then went out to dinner. The outtakes I have seen today have been awesome.

Also, no moose sightings yet despite all the signs that claim they may be crossing.

For all my complaining about my birth certificate, I was able to get a Read ID drivers license without it; my passport and social security card were good enough.

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

despite all the signs

Moose are committed contrarians.

I'm obsessed with the music selections for last night's roll call.

I saw an online post comparing the DNC roll call with the RNC's. A world of difference. The Democrats looked like they were having fun; the Republicans NSM.
