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

We're all packed up (except the computer bag) and ready to go!

Everything [knock wood] seems to be in order.

dcp, we're flying out on Japan Airlines at 12:55pm PST, JL1. Headed to Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

Emmett's driving us and Matilda's beau is also seeing us off.

I was able to secure our seats and boarding pass last night, so we just need to check in Matilda's oversize bag and pick up the money I reserved at the currency exchange.

Coding and Sleeping

Our furnace had some issues just in time for the subzero plunge, but fortunately the house didn't lose heat very quickly and we never got really cold.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

So excited for you and Matilda!

Enjoy, Hec!!

Brenda why do you not have a water bill?

It is cold here too but only just below freezing (which is still cold for her but not for other places)—it’s been weird to see frost on the grass!

It's 12 degrees here and I have to go to therapy at 1. I will be wearing many many layers. I'm probably going to look like a pile of laundry.

Sending good vibes Mr. flea's way. This is all so gut-wrenching.

So excited for you both, David! Bon voyage!

Stay warm, Gud. Sounds like it's fixed?

Yay for degrees, brenda!

Consuela, I'm so sorry. I honestly don't understand how we got here. (Today I came up with a theory about leaded gasoline, but it's not much comfort.) I don't know what I could possibly offer, but let me know if I can do anything from far away.

Working for a state university makes me a little nervous, I tell you what.

I got a little into it there and depressed myself, so I deleted most of it and pulled myself back out. Anyone have a suggestion for a small action for good today?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eeeeeeeeee, Japan!

Hoping for not too terrible for mr flea
