Back from my trip. I had a great time.

My coworker linked me this as soon as I got to the office.

My coworker, at comment #220, made the following excellent reply

(I know some people just assume their loved ones are getting a free pass, and that always amused me. I don't get why people think they can pick and choose when their book is supposed to be an absolute kind of thing
