Forced to flee home office due to internet outage. At Starbucks now. Feel strongly that internet companies should be obliged to reimburse customers for expenses incurred during outages (eg nonfat latte, ham & cheese toastie). Elizabeth Warren or similar should get on this.

Welp. After several weeks of hesitation, avoiding purchasing, then having to order from eBay (as is sold out everywhere), this finally arrived. Expect sporadic commentary, e.g. Author’s overuse of “release” when she mean “c*m” already making me slightly regret this endeavor. #HeatedRivalry #BookSky
