Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I hope your GI issues clear up, askye.

I also saw the bit about Potential Pope Scola and delighted in the idea of our Tom getting a fancy hat and a ton of religious and secular power.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I woke up to what I thought was my alarm, but turned out to be a dream of my alarm going off. Very confusing for a minute, and then just irritating.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m on day 3 of 3 weeks without my boss (surgery and recovery). So busier than normal.

Also the head boss of everyone was on site today so people were high strung.

The Grandboss!

Grey chilly morning in SF, though the fog will probably burn off before noon.

I have to get Matilda up for her Pilates consultation/assessment. Basically just seeing if she's fit to do Pilates and where her strength/flexibility is to put her at the proper level.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

White smoke! There's a new pope! They haven't announced who yet, though.

I'm like 99% sure it isn't Trump.

That's quick! Where's the intrigue and the infighting?!

Is it our Tom Scola?

Sun has already broken through in SF. Back off fog!

The NBC commentators are saying it's the first American — Robert Francis Prevost. (That's not his papal name.) Wow!

Okay, he's Pope Leo XIV. He apparently was favored by Pope Francis as a successor, so hopefully he'll continue Francis's more progressive (for the Catholic Church) attitude.
