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.

Yeah, I can't imagine doing (or, I guess, not doing) something for over 20 years and then changing that. Tells you how much a pull that must have, damn.

I have checked, and confirmed I have both Puppybowl and Kitten bowl access. YES! I was afraid I maybe didn't get Animal Planet with my cable package.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I did. When she went to London for the Paraolympics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So he managed another 23 years of life and work than he might have. That's good.

A really good 23 years of work, at least. That's something. Still, so sad.

Going back to the guy on Jeopardy, I think three days is a little soon to say anything about him being game-changing.

Oh fuck. Headline at the Sun:

Three to six inches of snow likely Monday in latest winter storm [link]

I guess I'll go pick up my laptop this evening after I get back from my swim. The City forecast is for only 1-2", but with higher snowfall predicted everywhere else, I'm going to hedge my bets.

...It's all because I washed my car, isn't it?

Compassionately intolerant

It's YOUR fault? Dang. I thought we were friends.

eta: someone tried to scare me today by saying we were going to get a foot of snow this coming week.

He was a lying liar who lies, thank goodness.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Our family spent 3 hours at urgent care:

K has some unspecified sinus infection. She gets codeine cough syrup and some pill form antibiotic.

Noah has an ear infection (hence today's fever). He gets amoxicillin.

Grace has gunk or crud. No pneumonia (which is my concern). She get augmentin. She's on day 4 of the fever that comes and goes, so she was the reason we went to the doctor. Ugh.

Happy sunday?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Didn't you just have a dream about Philip Seymour Hoffman, Aurelia?

He is from a Rochester suburb and his mom is a judge here and has come to several of our shows. So sad.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

When she went to London for the Paraolympics.

Oh, I remember that. I saw that play at the Goodman (aurelia hooked me up.) Brian Dennehy was there.

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

Didn't you just have a dream about Philip Seymour Hoffman, Aurelia?

Yeah, a week ago.

Brian Dennehy was there.

I think Dennehy was in the show that was running in the other space.
