A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I travel so much that I totally expected to be the first one to have a flight canceled. Nope. My husband, dad, and uncle missed on a boys trip to Nashville as Southwest canceled their flight yesterday.

Anyone knows how long does it take for a blood blister to heal? Pinched my hand putting together a bed frame. It hurts.

Happy to report that the smoke alarms in the new house work as intended.

On a related note, I just ordered some oven liners.

Finished the second book in the Lock in series by @scalzi.com and I can’t believe we don’t have a 20-book series set in this universe. I need more of Agent Chris Shane’s wit in my life. Loved it.

Why do designers like massive showers with 4 shower heads but a tiny nook that barely fits a shampoo bottle? We use products, you know?

These #MedBeds sound an awful lot like the sarcophagi in #Stargate. Did they also find the Chappa’ai?

A little past for flowers at the Pittsburgh botanic gardens but still beautiful. Love the water lilies.
