Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I watched that Dateline and what shocked me was that Temika Houston - the girl they were primarily covering - is Desmond Howard's niece. Even being related to a celebrity didn't help.

Who's Desmond Howard?

The thing is they are never attacking me or being physical at all, but I just punch them in the face.

I'm sorry, but this just made me laugh out loud.

Huh. I think I really only pay attention to the best-looking guy on the local NFL team. So right now Tiki Barber is the only football player I could identify.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Due to BF's great lifelong Dolphins love, I watched Dan Marino get inducted into the Football Hall of Fame yesterday. His son gave a wonderful speech and so did he. His wife of 21 years and six kids (two adopted from China) were all there, as were many of his teamates. Such a great player and a class act. I am not a football fan and I got all misty-eyed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Him?

Yeah. Unless that's the twin brother.

But not very hard.

Okay, it's a picture of Ronde. You saying he was the only one you'd recognise was a loophole I couldn't resist.

Nice. OK, so there's 2 I know by sight.
