 just a reminder that the Nobel Prizes are being announced this week so if you get a phone call from country code +46, don't let it go to voice mail or they'll move along to the next best person. 
 Q: Is there an age limit beyond which you cannot use the phrase “totes adorbs”? (Because I did today. I’m riz.)

(I’m asking for a ruling from my children. That might be a mistake.) 
 Sad. I had this miraculous little Outlets To Go compact power strip in my travel bag for decades, and it saved me many many times .... and I've misplaced the darn thing and it doesn't seem to be available any more.  With this you could be the hero.  Only one outlet at the airport, and four people wanting to charge? Stand back, I'll save the day!

i loved the way its little cord plugged into itself ouroboros-style. sigh

(if you happen to know where to get one, or if you find mine, let me know)
