Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I heard all of the day's Olympics results on NPR during the evening rush. Including coverage of the press conference after the men's speed skating.

I've got Dogtown to watch for show research so I may just skip the rest of the TV tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, Allyson, I know you just shelled out the big bucks for glasses, but did you consider contacts? You're supposed to wear the glasses all the time, right? You could even get single-vision contacts and then glasses for distance or reading.

Question for the hivemind: I lost contact with my best highschool friend about eight years ago, and recently am resolved to get a hold of her again. Of course, now that I want to find her, I think her phone number is unlisted. However, I have definitely tracked down her brother (his real estate homepage has an excellent photo, so I know it's him for sure). Should I send him an e-mail, asking for Kathy's phone number/e-mail, or would that be too strange? I knew him fairly well, so he'll recognize my name.

I just feel weird about contacting him out of the blue.

I don't think it is weird, but what I would do is ask him to pass along your email to her, rather than asking him for her info.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't think it is weird, but what I would do is ask him to pass along your email to her, rather than asking him for her info.
This seems like a good way to do it. He might just send hers, but nice if he has the option of forwarding the info to her.

Yeah, I don't think that would be weird at all.

I just had my first shredding error. Some time and tape, and I'm simultaneously glad I didn't get the confetti kind, and wondering how useful this kind actually is.

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
