Oh, DJ, what awful news for a Christmas morning! I can't imagine depriving a kid of its mother in a traumatic fashion if there's no abuse in the home.

Yeah, I'm kind of sputtering and spinning around in circles, but there's really nothing I can do. It's all about the cops and lawyers right now.
It's been a while since I've been around at the same time as you. How are you?

DJ, tat sucks. May it resolve with a minimum of drama.
Her what, now?
It's a wrought iron bat (mammalian.) Really neat. It's now hanging in the entry to the front livingroom now.
Merry Christmas!
Now to program the roomba....

Well, 7 am phone call pretty much means you are there for your friend, so at least you can do that for her, right?
How are you?
Crazy busy, thanks for asking. There's this class that I started teaching mid-semester (apparently the former lecturer was *really* bad, so they had to look for replacements), and it's eating up so much of my time, I don't even have time to whine anymore. You?

This is just the latest in a long list of jackass stuff he's done. Greatest Hits include Got My 19 Year Old Girlfriend Pregnant While My Wife In Labor, Taped Over My Wedding Video With My Cheating Sexcapades, and Told My Girlfriend My Wife Was My Crazy Stalker Ex (And Our Son's Not Mine).
Blech. I'm trying to decide if I need to wait around in case she wants hugs and coffee. Also my grandfather went to the hospital yesterday, so I'm going by to see him before I leave.

Merry HoHo to everyone. I got FIVE knitting books! Good thing Sue gave me a gift certificate for the yarn store!
I also got shooooooooooose.
I gave my husband an electric blanket - but really, it's for me.

Work is crazy busy. We have a new Katrina initiative, so that's sure to keep me stressed and busy. Right now I'm just looking forward to getting home and getting a hug from Mr. Jane.

Daisy Jane, virtual hugs for you from across the ocean.
There's a blessing in Hebrew, at the beginning of the Jewish year, "may the year end, with its cursings, and may a year begin with its blessings". I hope this is what is going to happen to you, your friend, her son, and all your family. Even sonner than the beginning of 2007.

What a horrible thing to happen. I hope they find the jackass soon.

Merry Christmas, all. Apple pie bubbling away in the oven, Kona coffee in my immediate future. I'm tired as all get out (went over to the 'rents last night, ended up staying until 2AM, then couldn't sleep until 4AM because of coughing fits) Am tired. Will go back over to the 'rents when the pie is done, my niece will have been playing with her toys for several hours now. I'm kind of sorry that I wasn't there to see it, but I wasn't going over there at 7.
