Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm driving to Tuscaloosa, AL tomorrow-Friday and driving back on Monday-Tuesday. I figured I'd have a better chance of my drive not being affected by weather than if I flew. (Since Chicago is such a big hub, delays anywhere in the country can affect us here.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I work from home, but S is on the way home now -- it's normally 15-20 minutes, so I'm expecting about 2 hours.

He was also scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning, and THAT doesn't look like it's happening. Sigh.

Oh, bully. Looks like my hot-water heater is dead. Or the pilot's out, can't tell. It's sufficiently old it might just be dead.

I think I'll just accept this as a problem that needs to be dealt with when I come back from vacation next week. I can shower at my sister's house for now.

I hope my Raleigh family is ok. We're supposed to be flying down to see them Friday evening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I agreed to meet with my boss on my day off Friday, and scheduled it for 9:30, which seemed fine -- get it over with. She just asked to make it 8:30! So much for sleeping in. Ah well. It will still be over with.
