Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Our wings are not tired.

Shake the pompoms and let out a cheer for Teppy's birthday today! Steph, I hope that the year to come is filled with joy, and gluten free cupcakes.

Second attempt. I’m in the air on the way to Portland and then have a connecting flight to Missoula.

Punishingly Intricate

Fingers crossed, ND!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ND, what do you like for noise-cancelling headphones, nowadays?

I hope this one works out for you, ND.

Shrift, that commute sounds soul crushing. Best of luck in finding a place that works for you.

I’ve been using bone conduction headphones for the past few years. I’ve actually not done a deep check on the noise cancelling ones. If you are in the Apple ecosystem the AirPods Pro are quite good.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Thanks, Laura!

ND, fingers crossed for a smooth flight.
