And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Oh! Happy Birthday, Dana! Yeah... I hope it ends up with cupcakes and glitter.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthday, Dana! I hope some of your meetings got cancelled.

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

Awwww, I drove to Matilda's school to pick up her ceramics projects, and had a troika of brief, sweet encounters.

I got to talk her ceramics teacher, Ms. Stuart as she helped bring Matilda's work out. Got a hug from her and thanked her.

Then Coach Johnson (Matilda's baseball coach) came out, called my name and waved to me. He had come to the Memorial.

And then just as I was about to get into the car, I heard a voice yelling "Matilda's Dad! Matilda's Dad!" and it was Malia - one of the girls we took in when they were homeless - at the top of the steps waving to me. And she said, "I just wanted to thank you! You saved us!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thank you! One of my meetings did get cancelled, and then a meeting got added. Que sera sera. I'm just happy to be home where all of my stuff is.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Graduation day! What kind of weapon is she packing?

Ugh why am I so freaking tired today? I went to bed on time but could NOT get up this morning and still am dying to go back to sleep (…I’ve only been up for like 45’min, and only because I had an 8am work meeting). My head kinda hurts so it may be that. Which implies to me that it IS the work stress/lack thereof which has been making my migraines worse/better (I only had one during my month long vacation last year, as opposed to 4-6/month usually, and then only had like 2 in March/April when work was super slow)
