OPEN BAR: I see you've come to PD. I too like to live dangerously

[Nephew Twiddleton]

You think of my dad too?

I said almost.

Though, I was also thinking about him earlier because of some reference to Dubya and science.

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

Today during a therapy session, i caused my counselor to ask, with a straight face, the question, " But is going to a music show at a coffeshop as risky as summoning a horde of the undead?"

he immediately followed up with, "That is the weirdest question I have ever asked."

I like therapy.

The boy had a brainfart and forgot his passport when he packed in advance for the weekend. So now he has to come back to NH and then head to Montreal to get it. He won't let me send it to him, since mail around these parts is on par with that of a 3rd world country, and even though he doesn't need it to gain entry into Canada, he won't let me hold it until he gets there. He's less than thrilled. But if he comes home Friday night and leaves early Saturday, Portsmouth is only 4 and a half hours away.

Still,  How the fuck did we forget his passport of all things?

I feel like him and I are kindred spirits.

Maybe he should get a passport card that he can keep in his wallet always? Isn't that a thing they do now, or have they scrapped it already?

Say, Doc., what do you know about countertransference ...

They do still have it, but it's just for travel to Canada and Mexico, which in this instance would make sense. the Navy issued him a full passport, and he used to just keep it in his car until I suggested it was a bad idea and we got a fire proof box at home for such things. So yeah, I'm equally contributing to the guilty, here.  it was in his car when it got stolen last year, but whomever jacked the car didn't seem to notice or care about it, thankfully. That could have been a real mess.

I actually maintain most of his important documents for him aside from his military ID and drivers license for such reasons. I was just a baaaaad secretary this time around.

My dad suggested to my mom that they buy hurricane supplies early this year.

He NEVER does that. In the 20+ years of Florida living, we only ever bought hurricane shit last minute when it actually looked like we were going to get hit, and even still, Pinellas County (the thumb that makes Tampa Bay) it's not typically a target for direct hits, except for in 2004, when the entire state was a direct hit, 3 times, in a row.

Needless to say, mom is a bit spooked, but she's obliging.

I'm glad I'm not really in the path of a storm anymore. We can get nasty flybys here, but the odds of something turning into the NH/ME coast is low. And I no longer need to worry about the Providence hurricane barrier failing.

Could it be because they just made a tax free holiday for hurricane supplies? Starting May 31 and lasting for 9 days.
I know my parents are going to be buying a bit earlier than usual because of it.

Don't be reasonable.

So close to finishing I can taste it.  Just another 1250 words or so.  Give or take a couple of hundred.

[LMNO]

Time to pad that thing out with tautologies and restating the theme!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So far my hunt for papers on the relationship between entropy and emergence has turned up three, one of which sort of vaguely addresses my interests.

[Cain]

Well, one more thesis to propose first.  That's what I'm hoping to spend 750 words on.  Then it's 500 for the conclusion, and then I'll re-word and shorten the conclusion for a 300 word abstract (which is currently lorem ipsum).

It's all in the plan.
