Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Break time. I think I impressed the philosophy major by knowing what predicate logic is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I knew that once.

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

I am not good at any of those things, but I am thinking of re-activating my online account after settling in next fall.

ita, it was a nice day, and I am not harried which I think is a win. I've got a bag of clothes and toys to take to the thrift store tomorrow, and another bag of vintage stuff to ebay over the weekend.

So far I took out the recycling in the rain, epoxied my mug handle back on, had cat run through the epoxy, grabbed cat, soaked indignant cat's paw in rubbing alcohol, discovered I'd grabbed the rubbing alcohol and vinegar mixture I use for my ears, cleaned an increasingly squirmy cat's paw off, rinsed now-cuisinart cat's paw in the sink and now I think I'll have a wee drink. As a pickle-scented Loki glares at me as he washes and washes and washes.

Best I don't try dating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Tom!

I wound up doing better out of online dating than speed dating, though I did enjoy the speed dating quite a lot. They're really quite different environments.

Oh yeah. I think I'm too picky online, so it's good for me to just get out there in person.

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

The Zmayhemi went to the beach today. Matilda ran along the water's edge and was cute enough that Japanese tourists wanted to take pictures with her. Emmett built a complex of sand castles.

Then we had fruit tart and cookies. Matilda took a nap. Emmett scored Terminator 1 and 3 for cheap at Amoeba and now it's dark already.

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

A good snippet of writing from my current favorite baseball writer.

Agents know things that will make them more money. Their hearts pump not blood, but a viscous, green sludge that is made from liquified hundred dollar bills and the tears of children who were just told their favorite player signed with the Yankees.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Chikat, is your Forester really noisy?

Yes, it is. That's its biggest drawback, IMO.

Tonight I have coached my speech team, previewed 2 hours of videos for sub lessons, written the sub lessons, downloaded and converted videos for my students to edit tomorrow, and written worksheets for next week.

The good part about being at work this late is that traffic will rock going home.
