He can deny it was a career, but it is certainly a legacy.
“Mr. Lehrer’s reflections on his own career were mostly limited to denying that he’d had one.
‘Thirty-seven songs in 20 years is hardly what I’d call a career,’ he quipped”

The store was ofc out of ice last night, so I bought frozen pearl onions (ew) and used them as cold packs to save dinner leftovers in the cooler. Worked great! Which is good bc I still don’t have power and really wanted that reheated Burmese chicken.

Huge and unexpected RIF today in response to, you know. The Horrors. My group was largely spared, but obviously nobody feels safe. This is no way to run a country.

A reminder: If you last took a class in CPR more than two years ago, your knowledge may lag behind the most recent protocols. Spend the three hours, endure the cringe of yelling, “Are you okay? Are you okay?” at a mannequin, and go home feeling a little more prepared to be a helper.
