There is no good reason my vital docs aren't in a safe deposit box. Must obtain a round tuit.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I should have a vital docs file. And a go bag. I used to keep a packed bag in the car, back when my life was less stable.
Glad everything is okay, dcp.

On a slightly related note, did everyone catch the amazing "Please stay, Mr Hannity" PSA that Jon Stewart did Monday night after Sean Hannity threatened a classic internet flounce over Gov Cuomo's "Hard-core conservatives don't belong in New York" comments?

Wow, I"m impressed you managed to grab those things AND go knock on peoples' doors! I probably would've gotten distracted trying to find shoes and keys and would've like, left my wallet sitting there or something, much less vital docs!
After not one but two fires in high school (at school) I got very used to (a) believing fire alarms and (b) grabbing my stuff when leaving. But I think a couple years of drunk asses pulling fire alarms in college trained it right back out of me.
What I read recently was that NYTimes article about how in many modern high rises it's safer to shelter in place, if there's a fire, rather than trying to take the stairs (which may fill with smoke--recent fire a couple guys died that way, whereas people who stayed in their apartments were fine). But that's so against instinct, man. And how do you know when it's bad enough you should try to leave vs not? Just makes me never want to live on the 30th floor of anywhere, I guess?

Oh, I *so* wanted to spend my day off doing all the laundry since Casper pulled what I think is a louse off her head this morning.

No idea, Tom.
Flea, that's awful. Ick. I hope it was not, and was a random other bug, a kind that does not infest anyone or anything.
I hate being awake early for meetings, especially after I went out late the night before. I know that's my own fault, but...ugh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Of course you do. It's Pat Kiernan. And it's just $5.
