Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Oof -t, that's too much stress for the first Monday of the year.

I've been supremely lazy today, but in fairness it is my only day off within a 10-day stretch. I had planned to get groceries, and do some laundry and cooking. Instead I have done some reading and deleted about 3000 emails from one of my personal accounts.

That sounds just phenomenal, David. So excited for her! Well, and you both for your visit there together, too. So exciting!

That sounds so great, Hec!

Good for you, be lazy, aurelia!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Matt, I love the colors in that!

David, does Matilda have any public facing social media (Instagram?) so we can see a little of her journey?

This too shall pass.

Very nice, Matt!

So excited for Matilda. Brendon loved his years in Japan. He lived with a family on a farm for a bit of the time too in a student program.

Ooh, good one, Matt!

Ugh getting images from fb off and organized. I should have all those pics elsewhere, but do I?
