If they don't figure this crap out quickly, I will finally have the excuse to leave them forever.
I feel like I am surrounded by shitty negotiations.
Also, Happy New Year.
It was, actually, a pretty amazing year.
"Shame on you. This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re going to let it be the worst. And I guarantee a week won’t go by in your life you won’t regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I’m not going home. We’ve come too far! And I’m going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails… but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. You’re going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that’s fine, we’ll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That’s how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you’ve got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You’re like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death… that’s the Chicago Way! Who’s with me? Clap! Clap! Don’t let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let’s fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our Independence Day!"
...because it is awesome and amazing.
1. I am back from another trip. I will be home for a while, so I will blog more. Promise.
2. I hate the Cleveland Browns. Boy, do I hate them.
What single event changed your view of the world for the better or for the worse?

There have been a few, obviously, but I think the biggest personal change has come from Bea's birth. And just having her around.
I think about stuff... differently.
I spent the weekend in my home state of Minnesota.
Boy, I like it there. Not to mention a lot of the people there.
Sigh. Someday.
Backstage did an interview with me. It's here. My parents, I'd guess, don't *love* my talking about failing so much of high school.
Oopsie. Sorry, guys.
And don't tell Bea.
Until she's got her fifteen degrees.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, The Honorable Reverend Doctor Captain Beatrice Sommer, M.A., R.N., Ph. D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Th.D, J.D."
That sounds about right.
1. I'll be on The Office tomorrow night.
2. Obama!
