It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Lyra - were they behind at the start by that much? I didn't think so - I thought it was getting lost that did it for them.

I was really hoping they'd make it. Win it, actually. Now I'm pulling for J and U, with Rob and Amber next.

Also, I want to go to Botswana.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Except for wasting so much time at the wrong water tower, the brothers did run a pretty good leg. I'm curious how far behind they were, because it was pretty clear that the producers were editing the show to make it look closer than it was.

Our wings are not tired.

A note from Jeff's sister, with permission to share...

He was happy for such a quick response, and said I can go ahead and tell you what's going on.
Jeff is in Shands...almost 5 years ago he had a kidney transplant, and now they fear he may be rejecting it 'cause the kidney's not working so well.
His spirits are high, and so far we really don't know much of anything...they're collecting info, etc...don't know how long this will take or how long he'll be in...
Good news: We're blessed he's in the right place for this.
Thanks for the warm wishes!
Jodi

Thanks, Laura. For e-mailing and sharing the response (I was about to click on "send" right when I saw your post, and I'm glad I didn't - I guess Jeff's sister has enough on her hands right now).

All the possible health vibes for Jeff, and calmness to both him and his family.

He is ridiculously excited.

That's so cute! Is that the first - I'm not sure how to phrase it - close-family wedding he's going to attend?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear, I hope they can fix Jeff's kidney!

Are you ready to be strong?

Everything good and health-inducing to Jeff and his fam and friends.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, if Jeff ends up needing a new kidney he should let the hive-mind know.

It would be a first for us but I wouldn't be shocked if we pulled it off. Or out. Or, well, you know...

Oh wow, that's rough. Here's wishing health-ma to Jeff.

Are you ready to be strong?

Nilly, yes, I think this is his first close-family wedding. My sister is gonna make him wear one of those hilariously gay but ridiculously cute suits w/ the short pants and he's gonna toss flower petals hither and thither.
