I'm sorry the migraine knocked you out, Suzi. Somehow I feel responsibility when other people get migraines, like they're mine to dole out or deny.
Whereas when I get one, I hoping I'm drawing migraine pain away from you, giving you some relief.
I feel a lot better this morning, though now my sinuses want to get in on the act. I fly out to SLC this evening for two days of work. Silly me didn't book the hotel across the street from the office but my usual hotel which is a couple of blocks away. My foot is much better but this will be the first big test, I guess. Taking a taxi two blocks would be ridiculous, right?
Not ridiculous if your foot hurts.
I miss driving stick. It's how I learned to drive and, to me, just more fun. Not enough to motivate me to buy a different car, though.

Aww, that's nice. Don't take it all on, though! I'm a trained professional on a closed track.
When does Elementary come back? I miss it.
I think I was supposed to see it coming that my unemployment just ran out, but I didn't. So ... that happened.
When does Elementary come back?
This week. They were filming on my steet recently.
I can drive stick on the flat, but my world involves hills with inconvenient stop lights. I don't need the grief.
I drive stick, in SF. I certainly don't judge those who would rather drive an automatic, but after riding a motorcycle for so long, I needed something to keep me grounded in the "we are driving now!" world. (I also learned how to drive in a manual '79 Volvo, aka a Swedish tank with no power steering. Driving a new automatic is way too relaxing for me.)
Man, the internet is magic. I can track Tim's cousin in the Boston Marathon. Right now, he's run 30K in 1:59. Because he is the goddamn FLASH.
Last year he ran the marathon in 2:31 and finished 225th. Overall, not in his age bracket or whatever. I like to think that all you could see when he ran was comic-book "speed" lines, followed by the word WHOOSH!!!
The page I'm tracking him on shows his miles/hour at each split, and he's just getting faster as he goes. At 5K he was running 10.5 miles/hour, and at 30K he was running 8.3 miles/hour.
t edit
Wait. I did that math totally backwards. Durrr. Still, 8.3 miles/hours ain't too shabby.
SUPERHERO.
My feelings are the same as ita's w/r/t driving stick. Why make things unnecessarily harder? I'd only learn at this point if we were going someplace and renting a car and the only option was to get a stick shift.
Or if you were going on TAR.
