Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did you know today is National Prime Rib day?

I did not!

Fortunately, my office did :)

Thrive to spite them

Ohhh nice Trudy!

It's almost time for me to leave work and have my vacation. I'm so ready. This week has been long and crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sorry, sj! I am fine, with clean laundry and back in my hotel room for the night. I spent more time waiting for transit and walking around than I really intended to today and didn’t think to update….

That which does not kill you should RUN

NYC folks, there's a restaurant in Tribeca that does a Cincinnati night on the last Monday of the month, so if you feel like your life is lacking weird chili and amazing ice cream, here's where to go: [link]

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Finally got my meds this morning. What a goddamn pain in the ass.

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Glad they finally got to you, Tom.
