Running thru Atlanta, my favorite airport. Much not. So much dislike.

Upon the plane, supposed to take off 20 min.

Advisory lifted! Coffee shops reopen!

TIL that coffee is brewed around 190 and that no work for boil orders specifying 212. No coffee for me. sadface

Moving toward gate!

Landed, gate occupied, waiting on tarmac.

Arrived in Boston without the predicted turbulence. We were seemingly successfully rerouted around the nasty, tornadic weather systems. Weather ok here, for now. Supposed to leave on time. Hope we miss the turbulence and storms coming your way!

Cute, but sad. Can;t imagine the mother was alive if the baby was alone. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario-man-finds-baby-moose-takes-it-to-tim-hortons-1.1831429 http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario-man-finds-baby-moose-takes-it-to-tim-hortons-1.1831429

If I am bored on ze plane, what movie do I put on my 'puter to watch? I'd catch up on AGOT, but has not legal way to do this.  Thoughts?

This travel, turn around and travel thing may not have been the best idea. I is brain tired. Want sit and veg, or at least have someone else take care of things.

I is back from family events week(end). Overall, good and well. Stress level blue, with occasional yellow, and one orange. Good highlights: Sister's getting honored for her ongoing work, niece graduating cum laude, making Dad's birthday apple pie, antiquarian book fair at U of M, seeing Maggie, Anne, Josh, and Stina. Tired, more from psychoemotio stuff than physical. I think I is becoming old irascible person.

Well, this is an entirely well organized graduation. Please note sarcasm.

Bad copyright laws indeed. David Bowie stole a piece of Canadian culture on Wednesday. As you’re probably aware, Chris Hadfield , back when he was the commander of the International Space Station, recorded an iconic version of Bowie’s 1969 song Space Oddity.... #copyrightlaw   #davidbowie   #chrishadfield   http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/copyright+rules+killed+astronaut+Chris+Hadfield+Space+Oddity/9842445/story.html

Cat herding. To those of you who should have received phone calls from me this evening and have not, my apologies. I did make it to Ann Arbor, but there's been a lot of cat herding. AFAIK, I am still doing some time in Toledo on Thursday, and hoping to hang in Detroit the first 1/2 - 2/3 of Saturday.  I should have a few more specifics tomorrow, so will call and set any definites up then with your kind selves. Cheers.

Great. My dad is feeling better (about which I hope to have details to post in future), and my mom is now letting down from the chronic crisis mode we've been in; and she's being horrible and labile to everyone. She thinks it's so terribly important for my dad to get counseling because he needs to "deal with things". Fine. Where's she going? No, no. She doesn't have time, and it doesn't change anything, anyway. [tl;dr] However, and this is a large but, there is something else I have discovered, about which I will try to be brief. My mom's brother, aka my uncle, last had contact with my mother through a lawyer many years ago in the aftermath of my grandmother's death. This was very bad. There were lawyers because my mom had to protect herself. Her life was threatened. It seems he resurfaced in the last 2-3 years. Homeless, ill, and impoverished. Fortunately (my opinion), he is in another part of the country. Apparently, my mother, when informed,...

I need better ear buds, mine hurt my ears. Tell me what to buy! Small, comfy, functional, do not overblow bass would be awesome.

Hi, other people who are still awake.

In the ongoing recent coverage of things that should have been under control infectious disease-wise, 60 minutes had a segment on tonight about the children dying in Africa of rheumatic heart disease, a sequela of strep throat. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/preview-emergency/ http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/preview-emergency

For the handful of you to whom this may apply: Looks like we will be in Ann Arbor 14th-20th. Currently, I will have a car during day on Thursday (10-3?), so seems like the day to visit Toledo. Saturday, I will not have a car, but still should be available from 9-3 or so. If it's possible, would be great to hit up the Detroiters. If there's a major change after we get there Wed evening, I will let people know. Very much hope to see as many of you as possible. Let me know. Tentative yay!

Just something to brighten your day (it's covered a number of places). Just add this to the list of things like measles and polio, which we still have the opportunity to completely eradicate. http://www.forbes.com/sites/melaniehaiken/2014/05/08/syphilis-making-a-big-comeback-among-men-warns-the-cdc/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/melaniehaiken/2014/05/08/syphilis-making-a-big-comeback-among-men-warns-the-cdc

I just want Kenneth Cavness to know we are having a thunderstorm so he can live vicariously.

Not to rub a sore point, but more voices have been heard from. #winfriends

An attempt at Reine de Saba. The torte itself worked very well, but the ganache coating got lots of annoying air bubbles in it. I haven't had that happen before, and while it's probably my fault, I am blaming the Guittard, which I had to use because I couldn't get Valrhona. The taste and texture were exactly what they were supposed to be, though, so I'll live. #whinywhinyprincess

Does anyone know what Verizon could possibly have told my mother that would inspire the absolute conviction that the router must be turned off every day? Since no physical connection points were installed, it is the only way to get internet access in the house, and she inevitably turns it off when I'm in the middle of something. I'm just not familiar with the idea of having to turn it off all the time.

Ugh. Ants.

Happy birthday Allyson Williamson!

Did you ever feel so tired, it was like you were drugged? I have no reason for this, and yet.

I can haz spring. About time!

Happy birthday Leigh Butler! Have you noticed they don't give you an option to send booze, money, or eye candy? Just wishes.

I ... did not know this. Everybody picks on Newfoundland. Originally shared by Anthony Whittingham "A Dildo by any other name" / 18th century #Newfoundland village named by corruption of Spanish port "Bilbao" / Trinity Bay / Dildo NL

Sigh. More family drama from a previously distant quarter. Headdeskheaddeskheaddesk.
