In less than an hour I leave for the airport. Around 8pm tonight I will be standing in the Las Vegas airport. By 9pm I will be neck deep in nerds.

This promises to be a fun weekend.

Humor is a tricky thing. It can be hard to tell when someone is telling you something just to make someone (themselves or others) laugh. This becomes even more difficult in a world of pure text where you have to fill in the blanks of voice and body language with your own imagination.

For the last four months or so I have had a "normal" sleep schedule. I go to bed around midnight, and I wake up around 8am. I did this because of a change in my dialysis schedule. Normally I have had late shifts. I would show up at dialysis around 5 or 6, and get home around 9 or 10. This schedule has always worked...

The best thing about family - sometimes they make you cookies.

It has been far too long since I had homemade cookies.

Imma stop typing now and eat more cookies.

A troop is not a policy, and I can support the first without supporting the latter.
