I think I might have a couple of ancient Netflix DVDs in their envelopes still lying around because I failed to return them...
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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

Our wings are not tired
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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.

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

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
Nineteen is the best age. No longer a kid, still a teenager.

I agree with this assessment. Nineteen can be a pretty great year.
And it will certainly be a better year than 17 or 18 in her particular case.
