Hec, that was a beautiful remembrance of a remarkable man. So beautiful, it nearly made me cry at work. Don't do that to me! {{Hec, Emmett and EM}}
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Augh. There is TOO MUCH TO DO.
Especially if I want to actually apply to grad school.
Am trying to be good at work and not be on the intarweb (am currently eating lunch at Panera), adn the Too Much To Do is sorta helping that, but ay! What is NOT helping? The fact that it's been SIXTY THREE DEGREES in teh office all day. Damn. Though for a few minutes before lunch I borrowed a coworker from another section's space heater, and that was super nice (her section of the building is fine today). Stupid old building.

Our wings are not tired.
Godspeed, Jack Devine.
Indeed. What an interesting man.

I'm sorry for EM, and especially sorry that Emmett never got to know the man he was.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm sorry for EM, and especially sorry that Emmett never got to know the man he was.
Yes, this.

move out and draw fire
I'm sorry for EM and Emmett, but I'm so glad that EM's father lived. Thank you for sharing that, Hec.

Because books.
What everyone said, Hec. Sounds like EM will have lots and lots of wonderful stories to share with Emmett, though.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What an amazing man, David, and that was a wonderful tribute. At least Emmett will learn about his grandad from you. He's very lucky you cared enough to learn and save all those facts. Condolences to EM and Emmett, and to you.
