Next time I am in Dallas, I must go see the Janes and their bar.
Everyone must! It is made of awesome. Big comfy couches and chairs. Inside, outside, rooftop. Pool table, basketball. Unlimited music selection on the digital jukebox. Great mix of people. And the Janes!! DH tried to take a picture with my phone, but couldn't figure it out. It may have been the hurricanes consumed.
Ugh. Just read the story about the Iraqi girl who was stoned to death and they caught it on video.
Humans suck.
I just keep reminding myself "Emmet Till Emmet Till Emmet Till". His Mother's bravery and the circulation of those photos in Jet went a long way toward bringing about the end of regular lyncings in America.
I was just reading an article in The Economist about how 1/3 of US troops in Iraq think torture is okay, and how the longer you stay in Iraq, the more okay you think horridness is.
Also, 72 soldiers (and marines? don't know) have committed suicide after serving in Iraq.

Oh my gosh, Raq, he is so big. What size is he wearing now. Awwww...buffista-sprog.
Thanks, Raq. I really needed a picture of Mal this morning. More than anyone here could possibly know.
Are you watering Mal to make him grow? he's really getting big!
And Sean, things still not going well? I'd offer hugs if I thought it would help.
Aww, Mal's such a big boy. What a handsome kid.

Thank you, Trudy. Not so much for the crying at my desk part, but for the reminder that things
can
change, and sometimes it takes something horrid to spark it.
They can change. And they do change. It seems so unimaginable to us that they'd stone a girl like that... which is only proof of how quickly how much HAS changed.
Afternoon. Am hungover. Had much fun last night though, and very sad I had to go home so I could get up and be here. Doesn't help that I spent the last 15 minutes fielding a complaint about another office. in another city. where I
am not.
