RT @jbertrand: Congrats to @lloydbrown on his new position as Communications Director for AASHTO! #
@myerman I dunno. I feel where he's coming from; it's one reason we don't have (cable or antenna) TV. (I have addictive relationship w/TV.) in reply to myerman #
(his dad died yesterday.) RT @NickKristof: My column on meaningful gifts for Father's Day, not just Hallmark verse: http://nyti.ms/cufnU2 #

@fakebaldur because there's a simpsons quote for any occasion: "Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it." #
@fakebaldur otoh, knew a guy in school who ruined his hand trying to do much the same thing. he was a trumpet player, too. 🙁 #
@fakebaldur my 1st boyfriend made nitroglycerin in a bathtub (in a field) with his best friend. (before I knew him) loads of fun. #
on the plus side, I was early enough to update on the test site, check that nothing exploded, and update the live site as well. yay! #
well of course more module updates get released the night before I planned to come in early for drupal updating. :\ #
