In fact, I just spent an hour or so practicing.

PG&E just sent a text warning that the incoming storms may cause extended outages in my area. I'm thinking going back to bed may be the only real option.

and my aunt

She lives in Canada though, so that may not count

I did too. There was one death that I expected but wanted more agency over the death than was given but overall a good read, IMO

I miss realtime post&watches.

When I just read, and not pause to do other stuff, I usually beat Kindle's estimation, but I am trying to be good and not forget that movement is a good thing for me, so I can't do the marathon reading i i used to do.

And by "can't" i mean try not to, but sometimes think "eff it, life is short"

This is so me too though. I had to finish two other books before I started a Stephen King Book, and then realized Kindle thought the King was a 10+ hour read.

It feels like I am being challenged to get it done this weekend.

I make an automatic monthly donation to KQED, which feels lazy sometimes, but it works for me

I was planning on old episodes of cooking competition shows. Is there something else on?

I didn't say I never lied, just not about politics, and I'm orry you don't feel I am pure enough of heart, but I am also done engaging with you.

Yeah, that's not going to happen--I don't lie about politics, but you do you and I'll do me.

But for me if it was him or a MAGA, I would have to vote for him, so I can’t honestly say never. Sad but true

I will definitely not vote for him in the primary. The lesser evil provision I mention above wouldn't kick in until at least the general election, if then

One of my mother's friends in AZ asked me if I would be able to vote for Newsom, and I really had to think about it a lot. My conclusion was that I might if he were really the lesser evil, but I would be throwing up in my mouth a little the whole time.

I watched it last night, and had a vague idea that several things had been Hollywoodized, and were slightly wrong. I don't have the background to know how they were wrong though, so I just had to shut off that voice and enjoy the show.

Indeed.
