Very good! She’s smart and funny.

I appreciate that Oscar is a true Chaos Monkey. I am very relieved that he’s not my Chaos Monkey.

Tonight:

Headed north on 101 into San Francisco, I’m pretty sure that the driver of the car next to me is eating oysters on the half shell.

I am sitting on an airplane reading this. I laughed so hard my seatmate thought I was going to die. So I handed my phone over and he’s now laughing so hard he’s wheezing.

Well that’s something different in my speaker swag bag.

And that’s where I’m going tomorrow!

I have been in Boise for 3 hours. I’ve had my hair complimented 3 times, been honked at for crossing the street when I’ve got the green twice, and been asked if I am prepared for World War 3 once.

Hello from the Boise airport.
