So this weekend I was awake for a full 25-something hours. Hence the last post.

No, I'm not a magician. I do sometimes explain my tricks, even when they are phenomenally boring ones.

Moral of the story: sleep is not overrated. Unless you are rating it too highly. In which case you've just made me waste a moral.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

My record is over four days. You actually start to hallucinate after a while.

I don't recommend it.

But the next verse won't work because "more" doesn't rhyme with "twenty-five".

I am so lucky. My woods look out for me. 106 high here today, 100 right now... and the AC went out yesterday. I'm still pretty comfortable, and the kids are all fine, too, just doing the catnap thing.

Thank you, big green friends. And if I hit the basement, it still feels like the AC is on.

In all things, when you can, remember...

Happy belated birthday, grayness. Sorry to have missed the actual day.

Sounds like we are catching the same heat wave. Only the last couple of days we've been a little lucky.

Hurray for cooling rains and working ACs. Sweet dreams, sweet friend.

Fratricide, patricide, homicide
You provide
Throughout our varied history
The source for thrills and mystery
Who did it?
Who hid it?
Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum
Exactly when did you become
These homicidal lunatics
Quarry for the private "dicks"
Who run in rings around the "coppers"
Whose lacking brains are sure show stoppers?
Don't look now- a second body!

Numbers low like two and three most always seem to disagree
"Six is yours!? Why, no, it's mine!" And two takes eight, while three grabs nine.
But unlike poor Jack or feckless Jill, our numbers tumble up a hill
Towards that deep and boundless sea known only as infinity
And calmer numbers soon prevail on that strange and spacious trail
And 700,009 can...

Who am I to think these things?
Well, even cats can look at kings-
And if their gaze, it should transpire
Draws down the wrath of royal ire
They've eight lives left- and so with me:
I've just agreed to disagree

It's a one party state but I dunno if that kind of thing would get me anywhere in the long run career-wise nor even in the short term in securing the deal we deserve, unfortunately. It's a funny position to be in to be trying to win a company's business and then having something like this come up. It's just not as clear cut or even protected like an employer/employee scenario. Hopefully, I can just be strong and steer things back to purely business and shut down the idea that I am included as part of any deal.

Thanks, grayness. You never know...I will give your idea some thought but really I don't see myself doing much with a tape even if I got it. I think I'd rather just face it head on and let the chips fall where they do even if it means I unfairly lose out. Fingers crossed it won't turn out that way. But like I said, I will think about it. Your ideas are much appreciated.

Time's, it seems, a funny thing- it simply comes and goes
And just where it gets to going there ain't nobody that knows
And some say time and space can be somewhat interchanged
Although to my untrained eye that seems just plain deranged
But they insist and that's just fine, and I will let them be
But one thing that's not letting up: that bitch...

I would, but Superman might think my deck is a landing pad.

Then to add insult to injury he'll start with all that "Kneel before Zod" crap. I don't need that kind of drama in my life.

And I still don't get it. confused

The hard part for me is I feel like I should have found a way to make it work. Like I failed her. Hopefully I'll at least be able to look back at this and learn enough to make it less likely to happen again.

Riddle me this, Caped Crusader...

I may kill or maim, but I would never injure
I might skirt the truth, but I would never lie
I could last a day, but I would never endure
Although I might fall sick, I would never die.

What am I avoiding?
