I had a dream I trapped a live mole, and in my guilt over killing the one before I decided to keep it as a pet.

What was odd was that I felt guilty in the dream, but do not feel guilty in my fully conscious state.

You feel guilty about feeling no guilt.

Speaking of, we'll be outside Louisville this weekend. :) Time for lunch one day?
Where and when? :)

I'll send a PM. :)
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Just got an email from one of my staffing company's HR people reminding me to fill my time sheet today because it is a holiday weekend.

Hell, maybe I should.

How did it come to be that the word "sanction" can mean to "condone, official approve" and "to officially punish"?  Inflammable means flammable?  What a country.
