I actually heard on NPR that he was disciplined early in his career for proselytizing. I think that might have been pre-Army.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

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

I heard that too, and winced.

You know, it's rare I actually hope PJ's best friend is still in Afghanistan (she's a copter pilot of some sort and PJ is ALWAYS freaking out about it.)
I just got home. Dinner now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I will say that the tipping a penny thing probably doesn't work the way it's intended. Certainly I and most people I knew would react to that, fair or not, by instantly writing you off as an asshole who was looking to cheap out from the get-go. (Um, that's a general you.) OTOH, a 10 or 12% tip is much more likely to be interpreted as a sign of unhappiness.
I figure a 1¢ tip is more likely than a 10% tip to piss off the recipient, which is my primary goal by the time things get bad enough for me to leave a tip that small.

Apparently, the shooter is still alive; shot several times but in stable condition.
Okay, I'm going to try to watch TV and think about something else.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
NY Times is now saying the shooting suspect isn't dead, he was injured and he's in custody. [link]

I have a sausage mushroom polenta faux-lasagna thing in the oven. God, I'm hungry. I hope it comes out well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That chicken pad thai talk the other day got to me and I ordered delivery. Curse you all.
