I continue to depend on late-night hosts and editorial cartoons to maintain my sanity in these times of absurdity.
I'll peek into the broadcast news with the FOMO and see that today it is all Comey all the time. Yes, it is an abuse of power, a waste of time and taxpayer money, outrageous and unwarranted. Bottom line, I won't shed a tear for making Comey miserable. Karma.
I think I might have a couple of ancient Netflix DVDs in their envelopes still lying around because I failed to return them...
And I bought an external DVD drive with a USB cable so I can watch DVDs on a laptop. Not that I do, really, but I can
I get to move on to my next destination later today. This trip to Pigeon Forge is wrapping up but I'll have another one in October. Right now I'm getting ready for a zoom meeting and then some quick packing to head to the Knoxville airport and catch my travel to Boise where I'm designing a show for Boise Contemporary Theatre. I would much rather be heading home.
That sounds like a lot! I always knew in an abstract way that you got super busy this time of year but jeez. Nice to hear that Boise theatre is doing cool stuff, though (I assume by hiring you they are doing cool stuff). I don't think I've even driven through Boise, only been too different parts of the state, but I vaguely wish it well for some reason
Do you wanna get ice cream in Boise cause my nephew-aged cousin just opened a trolley in Hyde Park. This is not a paid advertisement, he's just cool and I want to know if the ice cream is good.
I hate figuring out tv. Enjoying race cars makes it a struggle.

Yo tambien.
Today is Matilda's 19th birthday! She is almost Not A Teenager! Which is not a big shock as she's been more like a Young Woman in her 20s since she was 16.
Happy happy day to Matilda! Nineteen, as I recall, is a weirdly anticlimactic birthday in general - you don't get any new rights and responsibilities, it's not a nice round number, although I guess it is a prime if you are into that. I guess there is that Steely Dan song. Is that creepy? I don't actually know the lyrics but I have a feeling it's probably creepy

He's a middle aged rock star dating a 19 year old girl who doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin is.
So...
Nineteen is the best age. No longer a kid, still a teenager.
