GA!: MARRIED IN VEGAS

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I thought that this week's GA was mostly very good. (Predictably the part that was less good was Izzy. . . sigh.)
Oh, and I'm reading the blogs for Top Design.
So far, my favorite is Jonathan Adler's -- and interestingly, they are having the guest judges blog too.
GA: The thing I liked about Izze's storyline was how well it showed that she only wanted the clinic as a memorial, not as a clinic. Sure she wanted to "do good" with Denny's money, but she didn't have the patience to actually do the good. And did she ever actually congratulate George? In my book, once the marriage is legal you stop asking if it was the right choice and start congratulating.
McDreamy and his wife had twins today.
Awwww. Good for them! He loves to drive a race car and I like that in a man.
GA fucked me up once again: one of dad's friends has Alzheimers. The guy who I basically adopted as a second dad when I was taken to the office when I was sick or childcare fell through. I made him a styro Saturn, complete with rings, cause that was his field. That hung from the department sign, for years. He's promised me the plastic Woodstock from his office when he goes. He was lucky. The worst of Alz has so far been mitigated by drugs, and he's visited in recent years. He's in his 70s. A couple of years ago here, with his wife on her conference tour. Before that, when I was in Prague, he expressly changed plans to see me. And I treasure every moment. At the same time, I've dreaded each. Because I briefly knew what H was without the wonderful drugs. And it really, really sucked. He wasn't my H. And it really, really sucks to have that in the back of your head when embracing an old friend. There is a grace in knowing someone might fail, cause you know to hold them nearer now. But it also takes from you enjoying and loving them then and there. A constant watchfulness. You're always waiting. You don't know how to be.

Speaking as a mom, I'd disapprove of that in a dad. I'm just saying.
msbelle, is mac into Thomas? How did I not know this?
Ugh sarameg, your post makes me so sad. AD is such an evil evil disease. It really steals away the person long before he's meant to go.
It really is, Burrell, it really is. I'd hoped to meet up with them at xmas,but they were out of town. And a small part of me was relieved, cause I was afraid another piece would have gone missing. Maybe it didn't, y'know, but that's now a part of my perception of H. SUCKS.
OK, all teary now. Probably a sign it's bedtime.
