I've watched almost all the debates over the years and have never enjoyed one so much. She even looked like she was having the time of her life. Still smiling here about it all.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After hearing about it, it sounds as if Harris put out a bunch of rakes and Trump was like Sideshow Bob.
Accurate! Though she also made a very impassioned plea on abortion rights that was effective.
Phew! I have jumped almost through all the hoops for Matilda's Expedited Passport.
I just have to pick up one more form this afternoon, and then I have to take her with me to Sausalito Post Office tomorrow morning for an Official Passport Agent to verify that she exists and is my daughter.
Then drop off the forms in person and all should be in order.
It was very helpful to have Emily coming by today to assist.
It was very UNhelpful for Matilda to put her extra large coffee on the tiny sliver of coffee table behind my laptop while we were both working feverishly because when I adjusted my screen backwards I knocked it off all over the floor.
Pretty sure I was taken off the list for Parent of the Week when I yelled, "That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen! Why the fuck would you put your coffee down behind my laptop while we're working!"
Anyway....was able to drag them both to FedEx to collect more paperwork, have her sign on the spot, and scan it, then drop her off to get a new coffee and get her back in time for her Zoom therapy call, where she can talk about how her dad is an asshole.

Wow, this Laura Loomer is a piece of work. It makes me love my sane friends even more.

I visited Breckenridge years ago with some cousins. It’s a lovely ski town—I hope you have fun, Steph.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My classroom has a chair now! And it's a pretty good chair, too. I do have to be careful not to trip over the cord that's used to chain it to the desk, though.

It does sound like securing it was a good plan. I'm happy to hear it finally happened.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've procrastinated on self-review as long as I could. Can I answer "How have you demonstrated the strong planning, organization, and management skills necessary for effectively managing your direct reports?" with "Shit got done, didn't it?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Absolutely.
You guys, I'm watching Big Brother (I know) and Jerry O'Connell is substitute hosting because Julie Chen has covid (but she'll be back next week? OK, CDC), and one of the contestants on the show is named Quinn and says, "I was named for your character on Sliders," and... I guess that is literally true. He was born while Sliders was on the air!
Anyway, also glad to hear about Matt's mother and Steph's trip and Hil's chair and David's productiveness! Sympathies on the rest.
