I'm going to be tutoring and then I think I shall schedule a fall down.
I have no idea what it is about this week, but it is making me a bit nuts.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

When I read the Michael Vick story, I thought "Pelecanos has somebody new to kill off now!" Because animal abusers and rotten tippers come to bad ends in his world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just reading a Vick article where his father stated that he was a presence in his son's life, but that the mother was told to play a "broken home" angle to help his chances in the NFL.
Oy.
I do believe there are some marvellous people in sports, because there are marvellous people just about anywhere. But there are people who flock to tennis for tantrums like McEnroe's as well as grace like Ashe's. There aren't enough Ashes to go around, anyway. And that's in a "genteel" sport.
I have officially spent too much time out of my head in the past few days. Yesterday's just a mess of medication, and it's broken my week up so much that I'm not sure what day it is.
And I still have a monster headache. My GP is suggesting he prescribe me something stronger than Percocet, and I'm scared he may be right.

I read that article. He claimed that he stayed home with the other children while Vick's mother went to the games. I find that a little odd, at best.

Either its truth or its value as a lie make me shake my head.

Well put. I guess your brain still works okay, despite it's unceasing pursuit of crippling pain. I'm minded (so to speak) of Homer trying to punish his brain with a Q-tip.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
