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

a really lovely SuperBowling event with friends last night (actual bowling, though they were showing the game on ginormo video screens at the end of each lane,

That is awesome! I am delighted that this is a thing that happened in the world.

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

I got an email that said Matilda has been accepted at University of San Francisco.

This is the private (Jesuit) college that's about two blocks from us.

I would prefer for her to get out of SF for college but it's a very good school, and it's good to have an acceptance in your back pocket.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Wow! Congratulations!

That's great, David!

-t, it's so fun - we've been doing it for a couple of decades! This is the first year we actually had the football game showing, hee.

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

Yay, Matilda!

ltc has pnuemonia and pink eye and is thoroughly miserable. The NP said I absolutely should not cancel my hotel reservations for Saturday because she'll be fine by then and not contagious after the antibiotic. Now if TCG and I can just avoid getting sick before then...

Get well, ltc! That's a miserable combo.

Apparently they offered Matilda an $18K scholarship as well. I like that.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Having one good solid option will make waiting to hear on the others much less fraught. Very glad for Matilda.

At least the NP thinks ltc will get un-miserable in short order.
