Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

My iPod has stopped feeding audio to my left earpiece.

Hard reset?

That does make some mighty fine sandwich bread.

Oh no! So sad.

That is a beautiful dress Kathy.

I love the lunch conversation. I think I'm going to grab something at the Texaco and have lunch in my car in the car wash. First I need to see how long the weather is going to stay like this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Pretty dress.

I found some make in the microwave curry at Safeway, to which I have added some beef. Looks to be satisfying that craving.

Caffeine isn't helping my sleepy, and I have nothing to do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just asked like three different people to give me something I already had. I am an ass.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think there's some merit to that thinking. The circumstances under which I would be fearful of my safety due to a stray housecat would either involve Byzantine worst-case scenarios or a shrinking ray. Poorly socialized stray chow or rotweiller, not so much.

You know, I get this, and yet, for me, not so much. At the worse of Ozzie's rage boy episodes, if I had been anyone other than the person who he was most comfortable with/had the most control over him, I would have been really fricking scared.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Aww, man, farewell, Old Man.

My heart goes out to the KHP staff. I used to talk to some of them online on a regular basis, before I left the racing boards, and I remember their sorrow when Bold Forbes passed.
