Done Fall On A Friday!

Now, I'm not one to put stock in superstitions, although I suppose I still succumb to a few now and again, but today seemed like the perfect storm. The Outlook issue appears fixed, at least for my company, but of course today the US air traffic control system went haywire and planes were grounded for hours, and considering the mendacity of the people running our government it's increasingly hard to believe that they're not related, particularly since the gutting and potential privatization of the FAA is part of the Project 2025 playbook. So glad a Democratic Congressional majority will have the ability to roll back some of these dangerous plans, if we live that long. Meanwhile, my godson Jonny came over for a pizza dinner, game night (Rummikub this time), and to bring back some plushies for Mango. We'll be fostering the orange fluffball again over the holidays when Jonny heads to China for a few weeks; it'll be interesting to see how the little menace reacts to our holiday table. After everything that's happened this week I could use some sleep over the weekend!
