'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

We used to play a version of that with things we brought on a picnic. And by we, I mean my friends and I, because my sister and I did not play together. At. All.
I quote Sondheim at my kids and they quote Avenue Q back. But all sitting in the car and lustily singing "It sucks to be me"? Not so much. They hum along with the iPods.

We need Tim to do sumfin'.
Maybe Tim can post his grocery list and we can discuss that.
Or we could tag Tim with a GPS tracking device - "Oh look - he's heading North!"

I dunno -- from everything I've heard about the energy level and need to roam of the breed, we might get to a new thread much faster putting devices on his beagles.
