Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

What is even happening?

I've been trying to track down my friend Daniel Patrick Duffy. He's from Boston. Wish me luck, dude.
Heh. Although your odds are better than if you were trying to find a Neil Sullivan, a Kevin Gallagher, or a Tom O'Brien.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It is damn humid.

It could be worse. We've just finished another several-hours-long downpour. At least it sounds like the rain has stopped. Or at least the worst is over. Flash flood warning is still on for the next couple hours, though.

And even that could be worse. The flash flood warnings at points east (like DC) last past midnight.

Glub!

Ok, brenda, my sympathy level has gone down a bit. I was wondering how you knew he was locked in. I was picturing a porta-potty wobbling back and forth, which was eliciting an interesting combination of sympathy and mirth.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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

maybe you'll get lucky and you can hit someone in the shoe stores.
With this? I might enjoy shopping.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is what you people miss out on by not taking the NYC subway.

Which is an example of why this book is going to be about 500 times more factually accurate than your average NY Times articles "straight reportage" piece..

I only have strange people invading my space (okay, it's crowded) and talking to me (the hell?) a lot on the NYC subway. I had no idea I was missing violence-tinged shoe shopping.
