Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry for the miserable night, dcp. I hope the pain meds do their thing quickly and you can get some rest.

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.

Happy Birthday Dana!

Hopefully the pain will recede as the day goes on, dcp.

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

Happy Dana Day!

Know how sometimes you spend $600 on your dog before you've even had your coffee?

The vet just called. Good news is its just a injured dew claw and he'll be fine. I'll pick him and some meds up on the way home. My poor little boy.

That which does not kill you should RUN

dcp, what a night! I hope the rest of today is very chill for you.

Permanent crown on at emergency dentist, back home briefly, towels in laundry, bed made, meditated, about to run back out to regular dentist to fix the broken filling. Soon my teeth will be invincible.

I am on the Patreon but I haven't listened to the latest yet - they are so long now and I don't want to break it into pieces because I know it's gonna be good but it's hard to find that much time
