You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

Five! Five bluebirds at the feeder this morning. That's a record. I suppose they are preparing for the winter storm that will hit here tonight.

Thanks, Laura and JenP! I forgot my badge at home but one of the facilities crew let me in, and the heat is off in our part of the building but I successfully acquired my free drink at Starbucks and I'm wearing a shiny shiny jacket (because you have to make your own occasions to wear sequinned stuff once you have them) so it's a mixed bag so far.

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

Happy birthday, -t!

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

Imagine converting to Catholicism, and then only a few years later, you are personally called out and smacked down by the Pope.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Happy Birthday, -t!

Suck it, JD.
Love, Frank.

It’s never going to happen, but I would LOVE for a reporter to corner him and make him admit that either what he said was wrong or that the Pope isn’t infallible.

Five bluebirds!!! I've only ever gotten a single one at a time sighted in our yard -- always makes me so happy! Which... is kind of their job, eh?
