Thank you, Vortex.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's supposed to be done every year--I've been here twelve years and never done it.
Oh, really? I...didn't know that. Also we're coming up on four years in this house, which is nothing short of mind boggling. We are lucky people.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Vortex, thank you for doing that. I know many of us wish we could be there with Maria today.

My home maintenance book said it's supposed to be done yearly (the hwh flushing). The debris in the bottom is probably from rust in my pipes, according to the plumber.
So now I have 40 gallons of hot water draining into my front yard. I may regret this.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So MIT is offering this free online course on electronics and circuits, a pilot program, where you get a certificate if you successfully complete it. And it's making me just a tad pseudo-nostalgic for the road not taken. MIT invited me to apply, but I didn't, and of course very well might not have gotten in. But if I had, I think my life would look very different right now. I'm super happy with my life, honestly, but I sometimes miss using that part of my brain.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Vortex, I'm so glad you can go.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Vortex, I'm glad you can go. You're an emissary of a lot of love today.
Liese, thanks for sharing that MIT link! My BFF also sometimes regrets that road not taken, and I'm hoping she'll see the door isn't closed for good.
(Door, road, mixing metaphors is my speciality.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Vortex.
