This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

And other roommate Megan works in sports broadcasting for the Yankees, and she's still at work right now (11 pm Eastern) and has to leave for the airport at 4:30 a.m. Pretty sure she's not even going to sleep until she gets on the plane.

Other other roommate Krista just texted and said her library hold came in and the book is so big that she had to take clothes out of her suitcase to fit the book.

I swear to you that back in college we actually got up to all kinds of shenanigans. We're just old now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Priorities. I like hers. Yeah, I'm old but I can afford books so I'm rarely bored.

That sounds like plenty of shenanigans to me, Tep. Have fun!

visits to two different Claremont Colleges (Pomona, Pitzer),

Nice! I went to Harvey Mudd, took some good classes at Pomona and Pitzer that I think about to this day.

I’m at the airport about 90 minutes ahead of my flight, and the airport info insists that my United flight will depart from terminal B, even though United’s terminal is A. So I am sitting at gate B23 with a very dubious look on my face.

I am at the correct gate! That’s a relief.

Now I’m dreaming of a world where there’s a waffle bar on board.

Have a blast, Teppy!

Smooth travels, and have a fabulous time!

I'm about to go in to have the front tag mounted on the car while I wait. Then a long work day and my once monthly therapy session tonight. I should eat first.

If I hadn't forgotten I was boiling eggs in the stove yesterday, I'd have hard boiled eggs to eat. Instead, I have a pot to clean before I try again... with an Alexa reminder this time.

No waffle bar, but there is wifi. And coffee.

Hooray for the correct gate. Sorry about the waffles.

I got a notice on my phone that there was an earthquake near Malibu, I hope it isn't too bad. The fire is plenty for southern california to be dealing with. Incidentally, I would like to report that every single time I get an earthquake notification I am earwormed with REM
