Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Go Scola!
I am headed back to Chicago from Heathrow.
My earbuds are headed back from Paris to god knows where. I really should be getting miles for this.

ltc is sick. I just booked a weekend vacation for TCG and I for this weekend. These two things are unrelated but it is annoying.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I went to see the tour of Life of Pi last night. The way that show uses lighting and projections to create scenes is brilliant. The puppetry was amazing as well. I kind of wish I'd been able to see it without already knowing the ending.

The pre kickoff music with Southern University, Harry Connick Jr and Jon Batiste was pretty sweet

I went to the mountains on Friday morning, and skiied with my sister yesterday. It was fun, although we spent more time in lift lines than I would have liked. (Weekdays are better, why am I not retired yet?)
It was good, but frustrating in some ways: I have to rant about the political situation and big sis doesn't want to hear it because it just makes her depressed. (I have not asked her to call our Congressional representatives.) I did not point out that as a wealthy healthy retired white lady she is not so much at risk as everyone else.
Today I drove back early, and took the dog to agility class, where she was, if not the star, very lively. And then hit up TJs for frozen lunches (since I am RTO this week) and potato chips for book club on Tuesday, and maybe some whiskey. But I resisted the dark chocolate PB cups, go me! Dog is exhausted and is now sleeping on my feet.
I will shortly get up and start cleaning, and put together a pot of bean-and-sausage-and-veggie stew for the week.

Oh yeah, I can imagine.
Elektra was a chaotic mess and I’m not at all sure what they were trying to achieve, or honestly whether they achieved it. Talking it through afterwards helped me connect with it a little more. It was trying to be very punk and riot grrrl and all that but in a way that actually felt kind of dated.

The times I’ve visited London, I ended up spending most of my time at the V&A, and not having much time to do anything else.

DAMN, has Harry Connick Jr. aged well. Like a fine goddamn wine.
I'm thrilled that Kansas City lost.
We went to my mom and stepdad's house for the game (well, the first 3 quarters), and I hid 10 tiny resin ducks in their house. Well, I hid 9, and as I was leaving I handed Mom the tenth duck and said, “There are 9 more of these hidden in your house. Have fun!”
