Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Who is marching tomorrow?
I am going.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll be in Boston tomorrow visiting Dylan so any protesting will be up to him. The campus is across the street from the Public Gardens so we will be present even if we don't end up participating.
It's also Head of the Charles weekend so Boston is going to be craaaaaazy busy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, I have my little post work podcast routine these days, ease out of being business!-t with Marketplace, switch over to Midnight Burger to get ready for whatever might come next (which is generally reading whatever book I am trying to finish before it is due back at the library but could theoretically be more exciting) so I hear a bunch of ads. The one for I’m not sure what, some phone service maybe, which told me to imagine I was a purveyor of pillows and tomorrow was National Sleep Day so my pillows have to get delivered but my vendor isn’t answering their phone OH NOES but not to worry I have 5 G or something that solves all my problems except there’s no explanation why my having 5 G would make my vendor answer their phone! I play the vendor role to many customers and it would cut no ice with me! I get all worked up because the plot of this ad is too full of holes. Just shoddy craftmanship. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.
But what I heard today was an ad for Asana, which we actually use at work, but when the ad started by saying “When you’re stressed, Asana can really help you” or something along those lines, I heard “ a sauna can really help you” which made sense and made me want to go sit in a sauna. Which I could theoretically do while I read with my waterproof e-reader. But I’d have to get dressed, so that probably won’t happen.
