late breaking news: woman takes stupid pill before going to work

the sun is shining.

it's not *quite* as cold as i was worried about.

i am alone in the office and am able to work on the cabinet submission without distraction.

life is good.

while typing away i look out my office window.

i see that the flags are all at half-mast.

as i take a sip of my obviously much needed coffee, i think to myself "gee, i wonder who died."
