Meh. I fly every week. Sometimes multiple round trips. And while I have no desire to be blown up by terrorists, I can also think of many many ways to circumvent the TSA, and figure terrorists can too. So all the security theater, which differs at every airport and every trip ("no, you can't have even a tissue in your pocket...to go through the metal detector??" "your shoes have to not be in a bin! Your baggie should be by itself!"), that someone decided I should have the choice of radiation or gropeage, when neither will save me, makes me irked.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, absolutely this. I don't think the theatre makes me safer.
I just don't know which option [cat posted prematurely] of the radiation versus grope. I don't think either make me safe.

Because books.
The landlords are replacing the roof, and the roofers showed up at 6:45. They started directly over our bedroom. ::weeps::

I hope Saturday is better for Dana and Tom.
Allyson, I hope the new kitty can safely be integrated into your household, as it seems he's adopted you.
I'm feeling a bit better today, so I'll at least be making pies for the early Thanksgiving dinner I've been invited to. amyth will be going, so I could probably ask her to take them even if my fever comes back so contagion worries keep me home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Randomly, I jusr heard someone on the TV say "short lived" with a long i. Is that how you're supposed to say that??

I have never heard it said like that. Maybe if you were talking about something with a short life?
I discovered as I was about to go out and do many errands this AM that I seem to have lost my transit pass. Even if they have my pass, the transit lost and found is open 8-4 Monday to Friday. How inconvenient. By the time I could get there, the month will be over.

I'm still hoping it will turn up magically somewhere in my house...but I doubt it.
Last night I did find a receipt I had been looking for for about a week...I guess the universe is trying to keep my karma in balance.

Oh, Sue, that blows. I guess the upside (if there is one) is that the month is almost over? Does your pass goes the 1st to the 1st?
Chilly and rainy. Both kids are still asleep so I'm enjoying the quiet in the storm.
I'm making turkey cookies for Noah's party this week which I will try to bake today. I love baking in the gloom (turkey shaped cookies, not cookies made of turkey).
Did any LA-istas see the article about LA gourmet in unusual and casual places: [link] So many things to try!

That's on my to-do list, Kat. We're hosting a play date next week because the kids are out of school most of the week. Liv decided we needed to decorate Turkey cookies.
