Benign ~ma Tim's way and have so much fun with your brother!

I feel like it should be the weekend now that I've done an interview. I don't think that's how it works, though, sadly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good job in the interview, Jen! I've got a good feeling that a warm conversation might get you in the door.

Looking forward to a report on how Emmett likes the apprenticeship!

I have a picture of him wearing Carhartt overalls now. He likes it! He's lost weight, getting lots of exercise, learning stuff. His supervisors like him, and once he finishes this job he'll probably move to something with a 7am-3pm shift, which is much more to his liking.

Matilda was up and had nothing going, so we took her to breakfast with us at Brenda's Soul Food where I had gumbo.

Weird-lump-be-gone for Tim! And I hope you and your brother get matching banjo frog bolo ties, Tep.

Edited To Add: Here's a list of all of the benefits that come with my new AmEx card, if anyone is curious (for example it covers free damage insurance on rental cars): [link]

Our wings are not tired.

Lots of ~ma sent for quick and easy recovery on the removal of Tim's totally benign lump.

Interview~ma, Jen. Sounds like a comfortable fit.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Lump~ma, Steph.

I’m glad Emmet’s apprenticeship is going well!

The last days in my current job are quickly approaching. Today I received a goodbye present from my team—a bottle of Hendricks gin. I’m going to miss them. Anyway, the job hunt continues. It’ll be interesting to see where I am by the end of the year. Probably still in Michigan, but heaven knows what part.
