Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Must be coincidence! Are you people on Senor Wences (s'alright!) or mustache fingers?

The mustache tattoo on fingers.

The subject of tattoos came about because I shared a picture of my dad's new tattoo: [link] That's real. ON HIS NECK. Yikes.

(I like the design; I'm just dubious about placement, but he was insistent.)

Hilarious. At my office, we decided they would not be hilarious when you were an executive in your 40s-50s, but would come back around again to be hilarious in retirement. FYI.

That is a really cool tattoo! And I guess he doesn't need to worry about a future boss writing him off because of a neck tattoo at this point?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Steph, I like your dad's tattoo, I don't think I said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a really nice design, Steph. The dadness-neck part of it would freak me out forever.

Hand hurts a bit less, still puffy, 4 Aleve and two ice packs later.

BOORED. Meetings at 2, when I can write, but most of the other stuff I have to do is typing, and that's still slow and error-filled (don't ask about this post).

Ah, well. Better check work mail, then re-elevate.

He's a badass. (A winky emoticon belongs here.)

I like the tat itself a lot. I don't think that picture shows the gradual shading of the orange color, which is nicely done. But I remain dubious about the location. He loves it, though (fortunately), and that's really all that matters.

ita, do you know what's going on with the hand (the cause)? Because I'd really hate for you to get hit with another mystery ailment.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I hope your hand swells down and feels better soon, ita.
