Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just met my freshman advisees and they are ADORABLE. Aw!

Awww, yay, Jesse!! That's so fun! I can't wait to hear what kind of advice they need :D

So far, I think they need advice not to just take the famous classes.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sounds good, Jesse! I hope you enjoy it.

I worked out! Now we're home, and I would like to collapse. However, I guess I'm still supposed to be parenting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And my flight is late again, sigh.

Ugh, Dana.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I feel like delay or cancellation is just the norm now. more than 50% of my flights this year have been delayed or straight up cancelled. Of the others all but 1 were oversold and taking volunteers to be re-routed.

Ugh, I feel bad for all of you that have to travel a lot for work. I would be so stressed.

I swear the minutes until 4:30 are each taking an hour. TCG has to go back to work after dinner, and I desperately need to lay down for a few minutes. I can't tell if the soreness is from working out or the rain or both, but I hurt a lot right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The last flight out of NYC I took was so on time we had to run to the gate (after a 45-minute security line). The flight home (which we were on time for) was delayed.

Coding and Sleeping

Okay. This is amazing. You may have seen the story about the malfunctioning voting machine is Mississippi. Now I don't know if the machine was rigged or if the touchscreen was malfunctioning, but apparently the machine was made by a company called ESS out of Omaha. Check out their address:

Election Systems & Software, LLC 11208 John Galt Blvd. Omaha, NE 68137

I thought it had to be fake, but nope [link]

I mean, c'mon, how do you make election systems and software and not choose a different location or have the city change the street name?
