Hey, @drbecky.bsky.social. Just saw your December NSN. Bought your book for my daughter (named Eleanor Ann Arroway Tupper), a Chem junior at @usc.edu. before seeing the outro. Doubly glad I did. We're thinking about you.

It is perfectly legitimate thing to evade All I Want for Christmas Is You as long into the season as possible. But any exposure to the song by watching Love Actually does not count or stop the clock. Love Actually is a nearly perfect film and you should watch it many times, whenever you wish.

IP as aerodynamic device. If you think that you're flying well and don't feel me on the controls, that doesn't mean that I'm not helping.

We all know that a Tomahawk could have gotten down and stopped on the roof in fine shape. Happy little airplane.

The Degree Body Deodorant jingle has not stuck in my head. I think that there might be something wrong with me.
