No worries. When you get a more regular type schedule, lemme know.

Been a while since I've done anything like that (D&D 3E), so I'd be a complete n00b at whatever you decide to play, but I'm down. Timezone works for me too.

I don't post in here enough. Been re-reading a lot stuff. Currently re-reading Dashiell Hammett's THE MALTESE FALCON: Every character in it is pretty much a jackass, but I still enjoy it and keep re-reading it. Guess that's why it's a classic. Before that I read VIRTUAL LIGHT, part of a lazy re-read cycle of all of Gibson's novels, in order. Before that I tried starting BLACKFISH CITY by Sam J. Miller, but couldn't get into it, even after a couple total start-overs. Moved it down the "to-read" pile a bit so I can come back to it later. Before that I re-read Warren Ellis' TRANSMETROPOLITAN. Which, when compared against our current reality, is far less cynical and fucked up, and in some ways more optimistic, than it used to be.

If not for some of the printed material, "vote out hate" etc, some people would see that, as an endorsement for Trump.

You might wanna try to get more sleep. Just a suggestion, not telling you how to live your life or anything.

My company's Barcelona office started a work from home policy, yesterday. The Miami and Fareham offices will follow suit starting Monday. Basically they've been monitoring the school districts and closing offices when the local schools close. I expect office openings will follow the same pattern.

I am interested in a shirt

I was shown this: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 Seems legit? I find the number of deaths vs recoveries encouraging. Also it looks like the number of cases is starting to taper off. This time last week it was a different, bleaker, story.

Blood for Breakfast

Well it was only 800 pages.

The grands sounded better to me than the upright, but I think that's the point. Between the grands, while, to my ear, there were tonal differences, one didn't sound drastically better then the others. Especially not for the differences in price.

In my experience people tend to parse out what they feel like are the important bits and ignore the rest. You said "Friday," so that became the deadline regardless of your intention. If perhaps you'd said something like "No later than Thursday," the desired outcome might have been achieved. In the case of the pizza, I interpreted that the same as you.

I'm confused, today is Tuesday. Generally speaking, probably #1. In the context of the modern work place where most coworkers (present company excluded of course) don't pay attention, you should expect #2.

Wondered if any one had posted this. I would totally watch an all-female (except Ellis) Die Hard. Several times. At the theater.
