I just one more machine to finish my workout... And it is occupied. Enough time for me to complain about it here. I call that an efficient use of my time.

I'm coming back up for air, after the start of the school year blitz. Good to know the shop still wanders.

My arm hurts.

I wish you all a happy Spring Day of the Gay!

One of the graduating seniors at my school was writing an essay about Obergefell v. Hodges. Her first language was Chinese, and like a lot of English language learners she composed sentences in her head in her native language and used translation tools to draft in English. It works, but sometimes idioms don't come all the way across as intended. Her essay concluded, "It is now the spring day of the Gay!" The English Department agreed that it sounded like the best holiday ever!
