A brief warning about the dangers of abbreviations: Someone just sent around a template for landscape analysis that is titled "land anal."
I feel like there is a one if by land and two if by sea joke in there, but I can't quite get it.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
