I am not sorry that Scalia is done on the court, but, trust me, Alito is way more of a problem than Scalia.
I would be there right now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Going out to brunch for Valentine's Day because Gary has to fly out for a business trip late this afternoon.

Apparently I'm melancholic. Although, not specifically about Scalia.
In other news, go Arsenal!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am lying in bed watching Pix's progress in the LA Marathon live on my phone. Living in the future.
Go, Pix! You're doing great!

Go Pix go!
Me, I took a loaf of bread out of the machine (came out great, although oddly short), and am trying to resist eating the entire thing, and must go running instead.

Our wings are not tired.
Go Pix! May the trill of the crowd carry you along. Your determination and endurance through the obstacles thrown in your way have been most impressive. Zoe is wagging her tail and howling in support too.
My first marathon (Disney World) was 6:59:34, which was spectacular compared to my time for the LA, something like 8:15. I walked, and not all that fast!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Go Pix! I will cheer you forward, with my cup of coffee!
Happy Valentines Day, everybody!
We have nothing planned to celebrate but I should perhaps go see if there's a goodie I can pick up from the new neighborhood Sees. The real celebration in our house is tomorrow, DH's birthday. He wants a cheesecake, preferably homemade. I have never made one before but I figure he knows that going into this. So I need to hunt down a good cheesecake recipe today. I was thinking of starting with my various cookbooks since I've inherited a nice collection over the years. Any recs?

I'm going to vacuum and mop. Not my holiday, that's fine with me. And my floors are crunchy.

Is it possible to get a senior-ish software engineer job there or is the talent pool too flooded, like in Portland?
Yes. We've got more tech than PDX here.
If you're looking for diverse, then North Beacon Hill (I'm assuming you'd want diverse + walkable) or Columbia City would be your best bets, though you get into the gentrification issue with those, especially with Columbia City. The city's still fairly white. Nearly 70%. About 14% Asian, 8% black. We're slightly less white than PDX.

Punishingly Intricate
And my floors are crunchy.
Uh, glitter infiltration?
Nora, would you consider the mid-Atlantic? You wouldn't know it looking at the thermometer right now (or pictures from our snow storm a few weeks ago) but Baltimore's winters aren't crazy bad, certainly they are way more mild than New England. Also, housing prices are reasonable. We have a ton of great beer and jobs for software engineers plus a diverse population! Go Baltimore, Choose Baltimore!
