Now tagless for your comfort.

Part of the reason I ended up at the DMV late on a Friday afternoon was because we've been putting off getting our Wisconsin drivers' licenses and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get it done, since it should have been done a month ago.

It went pretty well except for the fact that my sister called my mobile while I was in line and told me one of my favorite uncles might have committed suicide today. My dad's wrecked (it was the brother he was closest to). Uncle Wes was in his 70's and had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year. Still don't know for sure if he shot himself. I'm waiting for word from my cousin who is on his way over there.

Way to go out with a bang, 2007. Fuck you very much.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Any DCistas around? I have to book a flight for one of my bosses to a conference in Falls Church, VA; the conference website says it's pretty much equidistant from Dulles or Joey Ramone Memorial. The distance may be the same, but I thought I should check whether one airport is markedly nicer (or wretcheder) than the other, or whether one will be an easier drive to Falls Church. Recs?

I'll just busy myself with Grace and Noah pictures while I'm waiting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, Cashmere, that's horrible. I'm so sorry.

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

Ah, fuck, Cashmere. I'm sorry.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh Jesus, Cashmere! What horrible news - I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, Cashmere.

It looks like every single flight, from every airline, is delayed to SFO. I think I'm in for a long night.

Thanks, guys.

My heart is breaking for my dad. My sister said when he found out he just sat down on the couch with his head in his hands and couldn't speak. Uncle Wes was a great guy. He had been getting really absent minded and paranoid. He had to put his wife in a nursing home last year (bad heart & severe arthritis) and then he got his diagnosis. I could totally see my dad doing the same thing in those circumstances. I feel awful for my cousin, Barry, who was driving over there this weekend to try to convince his dad to move in with him so they could take better care of him. Now he has to go and pick up his dad and make funeral arrangements.

I'm really going to miss him, too.
