Compassionately intolerant

His reasoning is because he doesn't want to be obviously in opposition to the prevaling world view, in case some sort of social warfare breaks out.

That makes sense in the 'boy, they really do take care of their own' sort of way.

On the other hand, I've always felt intensely sorry for the greenhorn 'elders' sent out to missions in places where I've spent a lot of time...Pittsburgh and DC. Such a life, I would not want for my child. But I suppose the rite of passage has its virtues.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

CBS has now stopped showing the Saints game. *sigh*

Jeesh. I know the Pats-Colts game is a big deal, but that's cutting away from live action for pregame, isn't it?

How could it not?

True. It's a bad time to be a writer in this town.

Houston is part of the 5% of the country that's not getting the Pats-Colts game, due to...some kind of airing regulations. I guess they have to air the Houston-Oakland game instead.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh dear god, I forgot about the falling back so was at church an hour early - and then I thought mac had early chior practice, but it was not his chior - and then then I went to see Gone Baby Gone, which, while good, was wrong for me on many many different levels.

Ah. Oakland didn't sell out so the game is blacked out here and we do get Pats-Colts. It cracks me up that the loscal sportswriters are not even apologetic about their glee.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I drove up to the Concord Public Library to pick up a book that I'll need for school this week -- couldn't wait for Interlibrary Loan to come through. Pretty ride through lots of autumn color, and the library itself is fabulously pretty -- I spent some time just prowling about, looking at the busts and the Thoreau exhibit. There's also a Transcendental Alcove, which has two very comfortable overstuffed chairs and walls of glassed-in bookcases with the Complete Works in many many different editions.

Man, I must not have been paying attention this weekend, Musharraf suspended the constitution again.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, Numb3rs watchers--what's up with the guy who was a spy last season being back with the team? Double undercover or a frame job or something?
