Oh, Jon. I just read...condolences. (snicker) FAQWIFE, ha.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Jon, I'm so very sorry. A safe journey to you, and peace and strength to all your family.
eta: And I'd just started to say something about FAQ Wife and then deleted it because I thought maybe it was too personal, but with what you just posted I'll put it back in:
I'm so glad you have her kind and comforting presence there with you through this. I'd been just thinking about her coolness and serenity and the story of you meeting and the tiny tiny book, and thinking what a great and amazing good she is in your life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just watched Finding Neverland. How can a movie make me so weepy and at the same time be so utterly charming?
OMG, right? I was smiling and crying through much of it.
Good news on the TV front -- yesterday's Ellen got mostly pre-empted by the president's press conference, but they're re-running it now! Sweet.

I sleep better at night knowing the government is protecting us all from paper-wielding vegans.

Well, paper cuts and lemons are a painful combination...

I am looking at last minute vacation sites for sunny destinations. Anyone want to come?

I'd like to say yes, Sue, but sticking me in a metal tube for hours probably isn't the best idea right now. You could probably film it and shop it to networks as reality/horror TV, though.

Jon, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. May you be a source of comfort and strength to each other in your time of grief.
