Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Brenda can you access if you’re traveling business class on miles?

Not domestically I don’t think.

My travel is nearly what it was back in the day because I’m mostly managing teams now (who are doing all the pursuit traveling).

And I am in fact delighted that I’m in a position to take this trip at all. But I was a little annoyed when that notification popped up.

Though oddly after a brief flirtation with Delta (and a platinum card with a good offer) I have a boatload of miles over there so I’ve been noodling about a trip to South America or southeast Asia.

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

Woo, London! Have a good trip, transcending the chump lounge constraint

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

I’m sorry lisah.

Safe travels, Brenda!

So apparently Musk is trying to get access to the US Treasury. [link]

How much is going to end up in his virtual pockets?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Brenda, have a great time in my favorite city!

I’m watching the news, which I should not be because everything is awful.

Punishingly Intricate

I’m in a better position than so many folks. We’d be fine for a while if I lost my job but, man, all this bullshit makes me so angry
