Sorry you are being used for multiple days now, el

I would volunteer, but I am a large-ish monthly financial supporter of c99. And deadlines are all in the past, except for the Big One, and I seem to be awake. Yes! No nuclear wars, yet!

@riverlover Hey, thanks and thanks

@riverlover Hey, thanks and thanks for dropping in. I don't mind writing them, in fact, I enjoy it except for the time it takes sometimes being hard to find, but I can't always be here to tend them. In fact, we're expecting house guests tonite and they and we are taking off, probably incommunicado, for about 11 days Tuesday or so, so some of these will be unattended, though they are already scheduled.

Taking a break from the

Denver Women's March to grab some lunch. This is huge in every sense of the word- they were expecting 40,000, but this is much, much bigger...

Rained cats and dogs this AM

During the scheduled march up in Mentone. We watched Amy's broadcast of the DC march...a little to much $hill for me. Michael Moore spoke, but his speech in NY the other night was better (13 min)

Still recuperating from latest gall bladder-war

I did not attend the local or grab the 3AM buses from Ithaca. The group seemed to all have purple caps to stay unified in DC. Touching.

Recuperating should be your main concern. Thanks for dropping

@riverlover in here, of course. Purple caps sounds cool, though I tend to favor hard hats, just one of those things.
